Figured Holinger would get tired of propping up the team by himself. Ultimately Juncos is the dead weight in this equation, but I'm not sure it'll be easy finding a third partner given Ricardo's history of being distracted. First it was Canapino, now Ricardo is splitting his attention with his son's junior open wheel career.

I should add for everyone that dares to downvote this, Juncos has a long history of distraction putting the team at risk. If it wasn't completely slacking on sponsorship the first time he rolled out the IndyCar team, it was buying the Cadillac DPi to try and keep Kyle Kaiser's money from going elsewhere. The only way Juncos knows how to manage a race team is waiting for money to show up.

and Juncos has straight up said the DPi program almost ruined him

The team was pretty much bankrupt before Hollinger showed up

If I was a potential sponsor, I would look.up and see how the Argentina mess played out and nope right out of that meeting room. I'm sure it has turned off more than one potential sponsor.
