New Son of Indy© concept featuring Argentine racing star Agustín Canapino, driving the Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) team’s No. 78 Dallara-Chevrolet. In a strategic partnership between the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and Juncos Hollinger Racing Canapino, 32, will carry the blue and white colors of the Argentine flag in the 107th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 28 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The design is based on the World Cup, which Argentina won for the third time in 2022. It will count with the collaboration of Visit Argentina, the international tourism promotion brand of Inportur..

“It is a great honor and a great pride to represent the World Champions in the oldest and most important motor racing competition on the planet,” Canapino said. “For me, it is a dream come true twice over, to participate in the ‘500’ as well as to represent our national team, which brings so much joy to the Argentineans. It will be my first time in this race and although our goal is to qualify and finish the race, we will do every lap with all the desire to finish in the best possible position.

“Many thanks to AFA and all of Juncos Hollinger Racing for allowing me to be living this great dream.”

Canapino is one of the most successful drivers in Argentine motor racing, one of the three drivers with the most titles in his country’s history. He was awarded the Olimpia de Oro (the highest award granted by sports journalism, previously won by soccer superstars Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona and tennis player Juan Martín Del Potro), the second driver to receive it since 1954.

Canapino qualified 26th, middle of Row 9.

The original will be a 30” x 40” acrylic on canvas original. Reproductions will be available.
