LINDSAY BREWER Gets Real About Indy NXT Exit: ‘Too Big of a Jump’

June 9, 2025

• LINDSAY BREWER candidly addressed her abrupt exit from Indy NXT after just eight races with Juncos Hollinger Racing, admitting the physical demands of the cars proved overwhelming. While team owner Ricardo Juncos cited “contractual obligations being unfulfilled,” Brewer’s honest assessment reveals the real challenge: “The move to Indy NXT was maybe a big, too big of a jump for me as I really struggled with the physicality of those cars.”
• Her racing journey shows steady progression from karting through TC America and USF Pro 2000, where she impressed with an eighth-place debut finish in 2022. The transition to Indy NXT’s more demanding machinery at St. Petersburg and Laguna Seca yielded 15th-place finishes as her best results, but the physical toll became unsustainable for the 28-year-old driver.
• Rather than dwelling on setbacks, BREWER has pivoted her focus toward GT racing – a strategic move that plays to different strengths while keeping her competitive career moving forward. Meanwhile, she’s still finding time to be a sports fan, sharing her excitement over the epic five-hour French Open final between Alcaraz and Sinner with an enthusiastic “Craziest match I have seen in a longest time.”
