For the 2017 Indy Lights season, Belardi expanded to three cars, along with hiring drivers Shelby Blackstock, 2016 Pro Mazda Championship winner Aaron Telitz, and Santiago Urrutia.[51][52][53] Telitz won the Saturday St. Petersburg race from the pole and Urrutia finished second on Sunday.[54][55][56] In April, Belardi and IndyCar Series team Schmidt Peterson Motorsports created a development program for Santiago Urrutia, with his car carrying the Arrow Electronics colors.[57][58] Chad Boat joined the team for races at Iowa and Gateway, but could not race at Iowa due to medical issues.[59][60] Urrutia won Mid-Ohio Race 1 from the pole and finished second in Race 2, with Blackstock finishing third in 2.[61][62] Urrutia won at Gateway, but Belardi drivers including Boat were in several accidents.[63][64] Telitz won the 2017 season finale at Watkins Glen in wet conditions.[65]
2018
For the 2018 Indy Lights season, Belardi retained driver Aaron Telitz, who at signing had budget concerns.[66] Telitz won the pole for St. Petersburg Race 1, but severely damaged the car qualifying for Race 2, and did not start Race 1.[67][68][69] Due to having no backup, Belardi borrowed a car from Carlin, and Telitz wrecked in Race 2. Urrutia won St. Petersburg Race 2. Chris Windom was to race for the team in the Freedom 100, but wrecked his car in testing, and could not compete.[70][71][72] Urrutia started from the pole and won Toronto race 2 leading every lap.[73][74]
IndyCar
Belardi joined with A. J. Foyt Enterprises, Hollinger MotorSport (Brad Hollinger), and Jonathan Byrd's Racing to enter driver James Davison in the 2018 Indianapolis 500.[75][76][77] Davison wrecked on Fast Friday, but the team repaired the car for Saturday qualifying, and almost didn't make the race. They would qualify 19th for race, but finish 33rd after wrecking in turns 3 and 4 on lap 47 due to car issues.[78][79][80]
