Juncos Racing breaks ground on new facility

The team first announced its plans to relocate and build this new facility in May 2015 in conjunction with the Speedway Redevelopment Commission. The project broke ground in January 2016 on the corner of Gilman Street and Allison Way and finished on time in early November.

The building hosts multiple office spaces, eight car bays, a paint booth, simulator room, and machine shop along with parking for multiple transporters.

Team principal Ricardo Juncos, who has repeatedly stated his intentions to expand his team to IndyCar “when it can be done right” said: “This is a dream come true for us at Juncos Racing.   This facility shows where we came from, where we are, and where we hope to go in the future.

“I left Argentina in 2002 due to the huge financial crisis the country was in and came to the United States. I had $400 in my pocket and no clear direction of where my career in racing would go.  To think that we would one day be moving into our own first class facility was not even a vision.

“However, two years ago the idea of this building became a reality and now here we are. We’re very excited to welcome everyone to our open house this Friday to showcase the future of Juncos Racing.

"I would like to thank the Town of Speedway, Speedway Redevelopment Commission, Tim McGovern (McGovern Construction), Scott Perkins (Blackline Studios), Dale Kruse (Kruse Consulting), Don Spencer (Spencer Engineering), the team and drivers, and my family for their incredible support this past year in making this opportunity possible.”

Juncos Racing’s most recent title came with Spencer Pigot winning the 2015 Indy Lights crown.
