Both Kaiser and Owen drove for Juncos in the Road to Indy and they were also in the # 50 in its debut at Daytona, this year. The car suffered the typical teething problems of a first effort but they are hoping for a much nicer ride at Long Beach, where Will made his SportsCar debut in 2017, with a P5.
.
Other IndyCar guys at Long Beach for the Bubba Burger race will be Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves for Team Penske in Acura DPis, PIpo Derani for Action Express and Tristan Vautier for JDC-Miller Motorsports in Cadillac DPIs, Connor de Phillippe in a BMW M8 GTE for BMW Team RLL and Ryan Briscoe in a Ford GT for Ford Chip Ganassi.
