• JAMIE CHADWICK dominated from start to finish at Road America, leading all 20 laps from pole position to become the first woman since PIPPA MANN in 2010 to win an Indy NXT race. Her 0.8-second victory over teammate Louis Foster wasn’t just historic—it was emphatic, proving she belongs at the top level of open-wheel racing’s premier ladder series.
• The victory carried extra weight as CHADWICK became the first woman ever to win an Indy NXT road course race. Previous female winners PIPPA MANN and ANA BEATRIZ had only conquered ovals, making CHADWICK’s technical mastery at the challenging 4-mile circuit a breakthrough moment that showcased her versatility and racecraft under pressure.
• CHADWICK’s mindset during the race revealed the mental toughness required to break barriers—she refused to yield even slightly when competitors attacked, knowing they expected her to move aside. Her defense through a late red flag and two-lap shootout demonstrated the championship-caliber racing that earned her three W Series titles and keeps her F1 dreams alive through the Williams Driver Academy.
