Through a video, the arreciefeño said that “it was two days and an unforgettable test”. “I feel sensations that are impossible to describe. But here we are. Now I’m getting ready for my first experience, which will be my first time in an oval race”, he reiterated.

Now it remains to face the race, with 26 other cars, exceeding 370km/h wheel to wheel. Risky? Yes, a lot, but at the same time a unique challenge that motivates me a lot,” added Canapino, whose first challenge will be in two weeks at the Texas Motor Speedway.

On March 5, the Ricardo Juncos team driver, also from Argentina, made his IndyCar debut with a 12th-place finish in an incident-packed road race in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
