"I couldn’t be happier to fo🐽rmally announce that Gallagher will be back for the 2019 season partnering with myself and Carlin. Gallagher and Carlin are like family to me and I’m excited to see what we caಞn do together building on both partnerships,” said Chilton.

“Our first year together as an INDYCAR team had its ups a🅘nd🎐 downs, but the potential and growth that we showed as a team was obvious to everyone."

Carlin team principal Trevo🦩r Carlin added🅠: “Our first year in the series was a great learning experience for the whole team and we’re thrilled that Gallagher is back on board for our second year. Gallagher started this journey with us and we’re just so thankful that they share our passion for success and really believe in both us as a team and Max’s ability to represent their brand.

“We’re confident that our second season iꦬn the series will be even better 🦄than the first and we’ll be able to push our partnership to the next level."
