He still seems to think he has the ride for next year so maybe it's not definite that he's out. The last couple years he was being hyped as the next top young American driver but Newgarden has that role now in IndyCar.
I think a lot of people find him off putting because he's a jock and comes off as arrogant, always posing with his shirt off. That might make him popular with teen girls but isn't going to impress anyone in a racing garage.
