IRL: Mario Moraes to drive for KV Racing in IndyCar

By ,

Brazilian Mario Moraes has been confirmed to make a comeback to KV Racing Technology for the upcoming 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series.

It will be the 21-year-old second season with the team where he impressed last season, his second year in the championship, with ever more competitive performances including a front row start at Motegi and a maiden podium at Chicagoland.

He will now join teammates EJ Viso and Takuma Sato in KV's expanded line-up for the full season.

Former Honda Formula 1 test driver James Rossiter had also hoped to be with KV this weekend after testing for the team at Barber Motorsports Park last month, but he was unable to complete a deal in time.

Rossiter, though, is still optimistic that he can join the team for the second round in St Petersburg at the end of March.
