Andretti Autosport and Bryan Herta Autosport have confirmed their partnership will continue in 2017.
The two Indianapolis 500 teams came together at the start of 2016 after Bryan Herta's team hit sponsorship trouble.
The alliance signed former-Formula One driver Alexander Rossi to replace Gabby Chaves and together they won the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in May.
"We're happy to have Bryan back with the team for 2017," said Andretti Autosport boss Michael Andretti. "His team fits well into our family and we are excited to see continued growth and success with the partnership. Bryan is a long-time friend and a true assert to our organization. We are eager to see what next season has in store."
"I am super-thrilled to continue our partnership with Andretti Autosport," added fellow former driver Herta. "We have a lot of exciting plans for the team throughout the off-season that I know can only make us more competitive for 2017. Last year came together quite late, but this year we've committed early and that can only help better prepare us for next season. I am 100 percent committed to helping the entire team in every way possible in order to see Andretti Autosport in Winner's Circle many times next year." 
Despite their IndyCar collaboration, both Andretti and Herta will continue to run their own respective rival programmes in the Red Bull Global Rallycross series. Andretti leads the successful Volkswagen factory team, while Herta's team is a Ford customer operation.
Rossi re-signed
According to RACER, Alexander Rossi has signed a multi-year contract extension with Andretti Autosport.
The Californian had been liked with a move to Penske and an F1 return with Manor but now appears to have settled on a long-term future with Andretti.
However, it is unclear as to whether he will continue to driver the Andretti-Herta #98 car, or switch to one of Andretti's other full-time entries.
Marco Andretti, son of Michael, has been linked with a move to the Herta car in a bid to regain his form.
