Lindsay Brewer BIO
American racing driver Lindsay Brewer has established herself as a determined competitor in the motorsport world, steadily climbing the ranks from go-karts to the Indy NXT series, making her the first American woman to race in this IndyCar development series since 2007.
EARLY YEARS
Born on April 17, 1997, in Arvada, Colorado, Lindsay grew up in a family that embraced adventure sports like snowmobiling, four-wheeling, and jet skiing. At just four years old, she was already driving snowmobiles with her mother. Her racing journey began at age 11 when a visit to a friend’s birthday party at a go-kart track revealed her natural talent, impressing the track owner who suggested her father purchase her a go-kart. With her father serving as her mechanic through the early years, Brewer traveled extensively across the United States in an RV to compete in karting events.
EARLY SUCCESS
Lindsay’s competitive karting career spanned from 2009 to 2014, where she participated in prestigious championships including the SKUSA Pro Tour and SKUSA SuperNationals XVIII. After taking a four-year break to earn her business management degree from San Diego State University, she returned to racing in 2019 by competing in the Las Vegas Saleen Cup GT Series. In 2021, she transitioned to open-wheel racing in the Skip Barber Formula Race Series, finishing sixth overall before advancing to Indy Pro 2000 with Exclusive Autosport in 2022, where she secured two top-ten finishes despite starting late in the season and battling a wrist injury.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2015: Won the US National Legend Car Championship.
- 2022: Competed in USF Pro 2000 under Exclusive Autosport.
- 2023: Tested with Juncos Hollinger Racing after her second USF 2000 campaign.
- 2024: Became the first American woman to race in Indy NXT since 2007.
- 2024-03-10: Secured her first top-15 finish in Indy NXT at St. Pete.
REPUTATION
Initially facing skepticism as some viewed her as merely a social media influencer dabbling in racing, Lindsay has earned respect through her dedication and authenticity. Her candid discussions about the financial challenges of motorsport—including self-funding her $1.2 million Indy NXT season through her social media influence—and her openness about physical struggles on track have won over critics. At 27, Brewer has proven herself to be a committed athlete who is breaking barriers in the male-dominated motorsports world through perseverance and hard work.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Brewer aims to continue her ascent through the IndyCar development ladder with the ultimate goal of reaching the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. She plans to use her growing platform to advocate for greater inclusivity in motorsports, drawing inspiration from racing icons like Danica Patrick and Lewis Hamilton. Despite recent contractual challenges with Juncos Hollinger Racing, she remains determined to make a lasting impact on the motorsports landscape.
