LINDSAY BREWER Exits Indy NXT Mid-Season After Physicality Struggles

May 8, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

LINDSAY BREWER’s mid-season exit from Juncos Hollinger Racing’s Indy NXT program reveals the brutal reality many drivers face – sometimes the jump between series is just too big, too fast. While team owner Ricardo Juncos diplomatically cited “unfulfilled contractual obligations,” BREWER herself was refreshingly honest about struggling with the physicality of the cars, showing the kind of self-awareness that actually builds respect rather than diminishes it.
Her racing trajectory tells a familiar story we see across motorsports – a promising start in USF Pro 2000 with an eighth-place debut finish, followed by the inevitable learning curve that comes with moving up the ladder. Two P15 finishes in Indy NXT at St. Petersburg and Laguna Seca weren’t setting the world on fire, but they represented real experience in one of the most physically demanding junior formulas in racing.
Now pivoting toward GT racing, BREWER is making a strategic move that could actually play to her strengths – these cars require different skills and often reward racecraft over pure physical endurance. Meanwhile, her 2.8 million Instagram following gives her a platform most drivers would kill for, and her Miami F1 weekend content shows she understands how to build a brand while pursuing her racing goals.
