Ty Gibbs took to Instagram to issue a statement regarding the upcoming Indianapolis race. In the image posted, Ty wrote, “I’m happy to help out 23XI Racing this week at Indianapolis, but again our thoughts are with Kurt and getting him healthy. He’s a good guy, and we all want him back soon. I like road course racing, and I think we’ll have a solid Monster Energy Toyota Camry TRD this week. I think the goals are the same as last week – just to complete the race and learn all we can. I want to thank Denny and MJ for the opportunity.”
