Breaking News: Siegel Called Up to IndyCar as Foster Dominates Indy Nxt FP1
Louis Foster led the way in the opening practice session of Indy Nxt at Road America, with Nolan Siegel making headlines for getting called up to race in IndyCar. Foster, driving for Andretti Global, topped the timesheets by 0.2031 seconds, showcasing his speed early in the weekend.
Siegel’s promotion to IndyCar came as a result of online abuse directed at Theo Pourchaire of Arrow McLaren, leading regular driver Agustin Canapino to step back for the Grand Prix of Road America. This opportunity will see Siegel balancing his commitments in both series, with the young American eager to make his mark in the top ranks of motorsport.
The practice session also saw strong performances from Caio Collet and Jacob Abel, with Andretti Global drivers dominating the top positions. James Roe Jr, Bryce Aron, and Jamie Chadwick were also in contention, setting up an exciting weekend of racing at Road America.
As Foster sets the pace in Indy Nxt, all eyes will be on Siegel as he makes his IndyCar debut, aiming to prove his talent on a bigger stage. The competition is heating up, and fans can expect thrilling battles on track as the weekend unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates from Road America.
