Veteran NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Takuma Sato had much to consider while pursuing rides for the 2023 season. “Very exciting, an incredible opportunity,” two-time “500” winner Sato said. Sato will make his season debut April 2 in the race at Texas Motor Speedway. This will be the sixth NTT INDYCAR SERIES team for which Sato has driven. Sato said he couldn’t have imagined being in this situation. “It worked out for both of us in a perfect way,” Sato said. Ironically, Sato will work to win this “500” with the former driver he was challenging for the lead on the last lap of the 2012 race. Sato said he will have Eric Cowdin, who won the “500” in 2013 with Tony Kanaan driving the KV Racing Technology entry, as his engineer.
