Rinus VeeKay is parting ways with Dale Coyne Racing after just one season with the team.

"I want to thank Dale Coyne Racing and in particular Dale and Gail for the opportunity they gave me to re-establish myself in 2025. This year was genuinely the most enjoyable year in my career as an IndyCar driver," VeeKay posted on Instagram on Tuesday.

"This season and its lessons will stay with me forever."

VeeKay's post came after Will Power announced he is leaving Team Penske after 17 years. Veekay, 24, finished 14th in the 2025 series standings, with the Dutchman's best finish being second place at Toronto.

"It was an amazing year, thank you for giving us your best day in and day out," Dale Coyne Racing said in a response to VeeKay's post. "We want to wish you the best of luck on all your future endeavors."

VeeKay joined Dale Coyne Racing in February after spending five years with Ed Carpenter Racing, and he improved the No. 18 car's performance from a 27th-place finish in 2024.
