Marcus Ericsson News, Rumors & Driver Updates | FOX Sports

Top-10 Finish at Barber Ericsson posted his third Top-10 finish of the season on Sunday at Barber Motorsports Park, finishing ninth in the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix.

Impact Ericsson qualified ninth and later had to fight his way back to the Top 10 after having to pit early. The Andretti Global driver has three Top 10s on the season now and sits eighth in points. It's been a massive improvement already from 2025, as Ericsson's average finish is up to 9.0 after sitting at just 17.5 last season. Up next is Long Beach, where Ericsson has recorded a Top-5 finish in two of the last three races and has qualified in the Top 10 in four consecutive starts.

Gets First 2026 Top 5 Ericsson brought his Andretti Global car home fourth in Sunday's NTT IndyCar Series Java House Grand Prix of Arlington.

Impact The polesitter led 15 laps on Sunday, but a slow pit stop cost him the lead, and he was unable to recover. Still, the fourth-place result marks Ericsson's best finish of 2026 and has moved him to eighth in the overall NTT IndyCar Series point standings. The series next heads to Barber Motorsports Park, a track where Ericsson has struggled in recent seasons. After posting three Top 10s in his first four starts at the track, he's finished 18th and 20th in the past two races.
