Alexander Rossi will remain with Andretti Autosport through until at least the end of 2019 after signing a new deal with the team.
Rossi moved to IndyCar for 2016 with the Herta-associated Andretti squad and captured victory at the Indianapolis 500, and this year holds seventh in the standings.
Rossi has now joined Ryan Hunter-Reay and Marco Andretti in pledging his future to the Honda-powered outfit.
“As always, this silly season is a challenging one for everyone involved, but I am very thankful to have such incredible support to extend our deal through 2019,” said Rossi.
“The improvements that we have made this year and the relationships that I have built within the team over the past two seasons created the foundation for a very exciting future.
“On top of this, I’m very excited about the future of IndyCar and where the whole series is headed.
“With the new car for next year, it is bound to be even more competitive and exciting than in years past and this is something that I am very proud to be a part of.
“It is an honour to race alongside such talented drivers and teams and I feel truly blessed in having the opportunity to showcase what I am capable of.”
