DeFrancesco will drive the No. 30 Dallara-Honda full-time in the 2025 IndyCar season for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing,
Nathan Brown of the Indy Star reports.
ANALYSISDeFrancesco will join
Graham Rahal and 2024 NXT champ
Louis Foster as part of RLL's full-time driver lineup for 2025. DeFrancesco took a year away from IndyCar in 2024 after full-time seasons in 2022 and 2023 with Andretti Steinbrenner Autosport. Both DeFrancesco, who finished 23rd and 22nd in points in his two full-time seasons, and RLL, who did not have a single driver finish top-10 in points last season, are looking to turn things around in 2025.
