Andretti Autosport has re-signed driver Alexander Rossi to a multiyear agreement, the team announced Saturday.
Rossi, the 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner, had been expected to be the biggest free agent in IndyCar this offseason.
« It feels good to continue with Andretti Autosport, » Rossi said in a statement. « Over the past four years, we’ve built a very strong team with great chemistry and I believe that we have the tools necessary to win races and championships. … It’s definitely a relief to have the future settled and be able to focus on the championship fight ahead of us. »
Rossi, 27, trails Josef Newgarden by 29 points entering Sunday’s race at Mid-Ohio. He is a seven-time winner in the IndyCar series, including twice this year.
