Tops Day 1 Phoenix Test
Malukas led the first day of the Unser IndyCar Open Test at Phoenix Raceway on Tuesday, his first official NTT IndyCar Series test session since joining Team Penske after the 2025 season. Malukas was fastest on the 1-mile desert oval with a lap of 172.605 mph in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet.
ANALYSIS
It was quite an impressive performance by the young driver. He beat out several oval track aces to achieve a lap of near 173 mph on the small track. Malukas edged teammate, Josef Newgarden, to lead this test session and send a clear message to the field for the upcoming season. "It feels good to be P1, but at the end of the day, we just ran through our test items," Malukas said. "From that perspective, that's what truly matters, and everything went very well. We've learned so many different things. Everything felt very clear. We got a lot of answers."
