Ex-Force India tester Alfonso Celis Jr. will have a second outing in IndyCar with Juncos Racing next month.
Celis Jr. participated in Indy Lights at the start of the year before making his debut in the premier category with the team at Road America, where he placed 20th.
Celis Jr. will return to the No. 32 machine, which has also been piloted by Kyle Kaiser and Rene Binder this year, for the road course event at Portland.
"Well what can I say, I’m very happy to be able to make my dream come true again and return to my second IndyCar race. This is a great way to continue building a project that I think has a lot of future and that I’m extremely excited about.
"I'm very grateful with Juncos Racing for giving me this opportunity and putting their trust in me, and for all the people that have helped make this happen.
"The Verizon IndyCar Series has the best racing and the best drivers in the world, and this is where I want to be. There has been huge following of the series in Mexico over the years and I want to do everything I can to help revive that love for the sport in my country.
"I’m very motivated about racing in Portland, we have worked together on developing the setup of the car both on track and in the sim and I feel very proud to be able to do all this work together with Juncos Racing.
"Before my debut in Road America I had been out of the car for a while and it was also my first time in an IndyCar, so this second time around should be even better. I’ve been training as hard as I can and I feel ready for this challenge."
