When would you say the IndyCar silly season actually started? Some point to June at Detroit when questions started to become serious about Will Power’s future at Team Penske. For most of the summer, there was a lot of speculation about David Malukas – the second driver at AJ Foyt. There was also a lot of conjecture through the summer on the status of Nolan Siegel at Arrow McLaren, but Zak Brown swore that their lineup would return for 2026. For some reason, some didn’t believe him.
