Andretti Global is nearing a decision on fielding a fourth car for the 110th Indianapolis 500 in May. Team Principal Ron Ruzewski confirmed the organization is actively discussing the expansion of its current three-car lineup for the event. The decision hinges on ensuring the addition provides value and doesn't become a distraction, as stated by Ruzewski. He indicated a verdict is expected within the next week or so.

Colton Herta, the most likely candidate for the potential one-off entry, is currently without a conflict for the race weekend. Herta, a seven-time Indy 500 starter, left Andretti over the offseason to become a test driver for Cadillac's Formula 1 team while also competing in Formula 2 with Hitech TGR. His availability and lack of immediate F2 commitments make him a prime candidate, though Ruzewski emphasized the team must also consider Herta's broader program and the 'big picture' before finalizing.

Ruzewski's phone has been ringing with driver interest, but Herta's connection to Andretti Global through TWG Motorsports, which owns the team and partners with General Motors on Cadillac F1, strengthens his position. The team faces the challenge of balancing immediate needs with long-term value, with a concrete decision expected soon.
