Marcus Ericsson Staying With Andretti Global in 2027 Season

Andretti Global announced Aug. 6 it has signed Marcus Ericsson to stay with its NTT INDYCAR SERIES team for the 2027 season.

Ericsson (photo, top), who won the 2022 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge with Chip Ganassi Racing, will stay at Andretti Global for a fourth season in 2027. The Swede will compete the team’s three-driver lineup alongside Will Power and Kyle Kirkwood.

“I’m really excited about the contract extension,” Ericsson said. “I think it’s been a good year for us. We’ve really been turning things around after last year, and we’ve put in a lot of hard work, and that’s really been paying off.

“The results haven’t always gone our way this year, but I feel like we’ve been competitive and in the mix on every type of track. That makes me excited for next year and to be able to build on the momentum we’ve created this year. So, I’m super excited about that.”

Ericsson (photo, above), 35, is ninth in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES standings this season in a rebound after finishing a career-low 20th last season. He earned his first career NTT P1 Award for pole in March on the Streets of Arlington and finished a season-best second in June at World Wide Technology Raceway.

"One of our priorities has been building consistency across our INDYCAR program, and bringing Marcus back is an important part of that,” Andretti Global President Jill Gregory said. “He's shown exactly what he's capable of this season through the speed and results he's delivered. Keeping our driver lineup together next season allows us to build on the chemistry and performance we've established as a team."

Ericsson's return provides continuity to a lineup that has combined for one victory, two pole positions and 11 top-five finishes this season.
