It has also been announced that Montoya will race with the number 86 in a tribute to Peter Revson, who claimed pole position there for the team in 1971.
“I’m delighted we are able to honour Peter Revson’s historic pole at Indianapolis in 1971 by having Juan Pablo Montoya run the No. 86 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet at this year’s Indianapolis 500,” said Zak Brown.
“This entry represents the combination of three strong relationships: McLaren and Indianapolis; Juan Pablo and Indianapolis; and McLaren and Juan Pablo, so the number just clicked for all of us.”
The Colombian has won the race on two occasions, in 2000 and 2015, but has not competed in it since 2017, when he finished in P6.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Racing Roundup on Tuesday. We’ll get to that Daytona 500 nonsense in a moment.
But first . . .
Last week was a rough one. Three superstars from the world of auto racing died:
Dick Bradbeer, vice-president of marketing for Labatt back in the early 1970s when it held the rights to promote Formula One racing in Canada;
Jeremy Hinchcliffe, father of IndyCar racing star James Hinchcliffe and a racer in his own right; and
Frank Orr of the Toronto Star who wrote hockey in the winter and auto racing in the summer in the 1960s and ‘70s.
