The team announced the news with a press release and confirmed that the 2020 series Rookie of the Year will drive one of its entries next season. Juncos Hollinger Racing did not provide details about the other driver in the lineup.
This deal marks a reunion for VeeKay and Juncos Hollinger Racing considering that they previously joined forces in two different series. VeeKay won six races during the 2019 Indy NXT presented by Firestone season and ended up second in the championship standings behind Oliver Askew.
Back in 2018, VeeKay and Juncos Hollinger Racing won seven races and the championship in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship.

Since moving to the top-tier IndyCar Series in 2020, VeeKay has delivered five podium finishes and one race win. He captured the GMR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. He has finished a career-best 12th in the championship standings twice.
"At Juncos Hollinger Racing, we're fully focused on building a program capable of sustained high performance in the years ahead," said Dave O'Neill, Juncos Hollinger Racing team principal. "We have exciting plans across every area of the team - on and off the track - and bringing Rinus onboard is a major step in that direction.
"Reuniting with Rinus feels like a natural continuation of the success we've shared in the past. As Juncos Hollinger Racing enters its fifth full IndyCar season and with Rinus bringing six seasons of IndyCar experience at just 25 years of age, we believe this reunion will deliver results quickly. He brings the ideal combination of speed, consistency, race craft and experience that we're looking for.
"Rinus will be a key part of a refreshed driver lineup that reflects our ambitions and long-term vision. We're working hard to assemble the right mix of talent to elevate our competitiveness, and we're confident that Rinus will play a central role in that progress."
