Sting Ray Robb is one of few IndyCar drivers from the 2024 season who is yet to announce what his racing plans are for next year.
The 23-year-old American drove for AJ Foyt Racing this year and finished 20th in the drivers’ standings after a tricky run.
His best result was ninth – the only top 10 of his career so far, secured at Gateway in a chaotic race which saw some of his rivals clash.
There are just a few seats left on the grid for 2025, but with some solid funding, he does still have a chance to return to the series.
Sting Ray Robb says IndyCar has hope for ‘great success’
A runner-up in the 2022 Indy Lights championship, Robb has some of the skillset required to enjoy success at the highest level.
He just needs to find a way of translating that onto the track, and finding more consistency as he attempts to do so.
Speaking to Andrew Reese on his YouTube channel, he marked IndyCar’s new partnership with FOX as a great opportunity to expand its fanbase and develop some success.

“This year, going into 2025, we’ve changed broadcasting services to FOX Sports from NBC, which is a great opportunity for the sport to grow.
“FOX Sports has been a huge part of NASCAR’s success. We’re hoping that we kind of plug ourselves into that partnership there for great success.
“As far as a fanbase, that’s 148 million fans globally, and those come from all kinds of walks of life. Then we have 70 million plus fans just in the US.”
Where could Robb go for 2025?
PREMA announced the second half of their driver pairing for the 2025 season recently, confirming that Robert Shwartzman would be lining up alongside Callum Ilott.
That means that there are arguably only four seats left on the grid now, with two up for grabs at both Juncos Hollinger Racing and Dale Coyne Racing.
Both have taken their time to make a decision because there is plenty of choices for them, ranging from experienced drivers, to faster drivers, and ones with more funding.

Those towards the bottom of the grid typically opt for more funding, as it helps make the day-to-day running of a team much less stressful.
However, they might sacrifice speed with that, as Robb’s results have indicated throughout his two-year IndyCar tenure – so it’s all about finding the right balance.
