Juncos Hollinger Racing heads to Portland looking to continue championship momentum
Juncos Hollinger Racing returns to Portland International Raceway this weekend for the OnlyBulls Grand Prix of Portland aiming to continue the momentum built over recent races as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES enters the closing stages of the 2026 season. A run of increasingly competitive performances has seen Rinus VeeKay climb into the top 10 of the drivers' championship, while Sting Ray Robb continues to score valuable points in the team's fight to have both entries inside the Leader's Circle.
The Portland weekend also marks the debut of the ampm colors as primary partner on the No. 76 Chevrolet, launching one of the team's biggest commercial activations of the season.
Portland International Raceway's 1.964-mile, 12-turn permanent road course has been a fixture on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar since 2018. Renowned for its long straights, heavy braking zones and the famous Festival Curves at Turn 1, the circuit consistently rewards commitment under braking, tire management and strategic execution while also providing some of the championship's best overtaking opportunities.
The team arrives in Oregon encouraged by its recent trajectory and a positive test at the venue. Fourth place at Mid-Ohio confirmed the pace of the No. 76 Chevrolet on permanent road courses before Nashville demonstrated JHR's growing competitiveness on ovals. Although late cautions prevented the team from converting its pace into the result it deserved in Tennessee, the weekend still yielded valuable championship points and reinforced the progress being made across the organization.
With four races remaining, every point carries increased significance. VeeKay's rise into the championship's top 10 reflects a season of growing consistency, while Robb's recent points finishes continue to strengthen the team's overall position.
Dave O'Neill, Team Principal:
"We've shown over the last few races that we're definitely moving in a good direction. The pace has been there on road courses and ovals, and we're becoming more consistent in the way we prepare, execute and race throughout the weekend.
"Portland is another opportunity to build on that progress, particularly with the benefit of our recent test here. Rinus has put together a really strong run to move into the championship's top 10, while Sting Ray continues to score valuable points that strengthen our position in the wider battle.
"We are excited to welcome ampm as primary partner on the No. 76 Chevrolet for the first time and we're looking forward to delivering a great weekend for everyone involved."
