2023 Indy NXT explained

The 2023 Firestone Indy NXT Series was the 36th season of the Indy NXT open wheel motor racing series and the 21st sanctioned by IndyCar, acting as the primary support series for the IndyCar Series. Known as Indy Lights before 2023, the championship was rebranded following its acquisition by Penske Entertainment, the owner of the IndyCar Series, in 2022.[1] This rebrand coincided with the three lower support series, still run by Anderson Promotions, also changing their branding.[2]

Linus Lundqvist, the reigning 2022 Indy Lights champion, became a free agent after the season, so he did not defend his championship. Succeeding him as the first ever Indy NXT champion was Christian Rasmussen, who won the title after collecting five wins and nine podiums throughout the season. His team, HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing, won the Teams' championship.

Season report

Opening rounds

The first round of the newly rebranded Indy NXT began with a record 19 cars in St. Petersburg, the most entries since 2012. Andretti's Louis Foster took pole position for the event. HMD's Christian Rasmussen moved up to second place during the opening part of the race, before Abel's Jacob Abel swept past both of them on the restart of a caution. Foster held on to him before clipping the wall and falling down the field. On the next restart, HMD's Nolan Siegel mimicked Abel's move to jump into the lead from third, while his teammate Danial Frost jumped to second. Another restart, the fifth one of the race, another move for the lead: Frost took the lead from Siegel and led him and Abel home.[55]

A break of almost two months followed before the second round at Barber Motorsports Park, where Rasmussen was on pole position. He built a two-second gap over Siegel before a safety car nullified his efforts. Siegel could do nothing on the restart, however, so Rasmussen kept leading until another safety car was called. This then turned into a red flag, when the recovery vehicle sent out to retrieve Foster's car got stuck in the mud. After that stoppage, the top two remained the same. Rasmussen took the win and with it the championship lead, by four points over Siegel. Foster's demise meanwhile had promoted HMD's Toby Sowery to the podium on his return to the series.[56]

Juncos's Matteo Nannini took the teams' first pole position since 2019 for the first race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He needed three attempts to lead the field to green to the satisfaction of the officials and then benefitted from the cars behind him battling. He built a 1.5 second gap, while Foster overtook second-placed Andretti man Hunter McElrea and set out after Nannini. While HMD's Kyffin Simpson overtook Rasmussen for third, Nannini and Foster started battling. Foster could not find a way past Nannini, though, and had to settle for second, while Nannini took his maiden win. Rasmussen, fifth in the end, still grew his standings lead to 18 points as Siegel could only manage 13th place.[57]

Foster took a double pole position despite having a broken suspension on Indy NXT's debut around the Detroit Street Circuit. Foster's first race ended quickly, though, when McElrea tipped him into a spin through the first turn. The New Zealander was hit with a drive-through penalty that promoted HMD's Reece Gold to the front. Siegel continuously attacked him after the restart and got by. He looked set to win the race, before a gearbox issue on the final lap saw him tumble down the order. Gold took the win, ahead of Cape's Jagger Jones and HMD's Ernie Francis Jr. in third. Siegel came home eighth, still one spot ahead of Rasmussen, to shorten the standings gap down to 15 points.[58]

A day later, Siegel was on a mission to get redemption. He jumped Foster and Rasmussen at the start as the pair battled for position. Rasmussen then set out after him, but Siegel kept him behind until a safety car was called when Jones hit the wall. Rasmussen got alongside Siegel at the restart, but Siegel held on to the lead. He then pulled out a two-second gap before another safety car interruption, this time for Simpson. This second restart with two laps to go posed no threat to Siegel, and he led Rasmussen home to again shrink the championship lead, down to only two points. Foster had spent the whole race in third place and finished there after holding off McElrea in the end.[59]

Mid-season rounds

Simpson took his maiden pole position when the championship visited Road America. He ran off the road into the first turn, however, ceding his lead to Gold ahead of Foster and Siegel and dropping down to seventh. Foster soon attacked Gold, but could not get by, so he lost momentum. Siegel took the opportunity to jump into second. A few laps later, he was the one to attack Gold, and he did so successfully to claim the lead. After an interruption when championship leader Rasmussen retired, Gold had to give up on his podium hopes when Abel and later also McElrea got by him. Siegel's win saw him claim the championship lead, 39 points ahead of Rasmussen, who was classified 19th.[60]

The first half of the season ended at Mid-Ohio, where Rasmussen was on pole position. Two safety cars, the first one brought out when Frost spun and the second when HMD's Christian Bogle beached his car, did not disturb the Dane. He kept leading until rain started to fall late in the race. He made a mistake, that allowed Foster past him. Championship leader Siegel then lost control over his car on the final lap to drop out of the top five into 15th. On the subsequent restart, Simpson was able to overtake Rasmussen for second. Foster held on to take his maiden win, while Siegels late error, coupled with Rasmussen's third place, saw the American's championship lead reduced to 17 points.[61]

Indy NXT's first oval race came at Iowa Speedway, and Abel took pole position. His lead only lasted for two laps before Rasmussen took the lead. The overtake slashed Abel's momentum. He dropped down behind Siegel and battle for third with McElrea. Later in the race, McElrea began attacking Siegel for second. The cars made contact, damaging Siegel's toe link and sending him into the pits. McElrea was later overtaken by Juncos's Rasmus Lindh, while Abel had closed up to Rasmussen. He was much faster than the race leader, but ran out of laps and finished second in a photo-finish, only 0.1 seconds behind. Rasmussen's win saw him take the championship lead by 22 points over Siegel.[62]

Qualifying in Nashville was cancelled due to bad weather, so Rasmussen started from pole position. He kept his lead ahead of Siegel, while the latter dropped down the order. McElrea, thus promoted to second, could not keep up with Rasmussen. Three times the race was interrupted by safety car periods, three times Rasmussen's lead was reduced to nothing, three times he got clean restarts and was not troubled by McElrea behind him. He took a lights-to-flag win to extend his championship lead over Siegel, who finished fifth, to 44 points. Abel completed the podium after a race-long battle with Foster, before the pair made contact and the latter dropped back.[63]

McElrea took pole position on the series' return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Foster got past Simpson into third and further up into second past his teammate James Roe Jr. by the end of lap two. He then shadowed McElrea until lap 27, where he attempted a move that resulted in contact, forcing him into retirement. This brought Roe back into second, 6.5 seconds back from the lead. He brought that gap down to almost nothing entering the final lap and looked set to overtake McElrea. The New Zealander defended hard into turn one to keep the lead and take the win. This saw him take second place in the standings, 33 points behind Rasmussen, who struggled and finished sixth.

Closing rounds

The weekend at Gateway was affected by a rain storm that saw qualifying cancelled and the race delayed by multiple hours. Rasmussen held his lead, based on entrant points, while Roe rose from sixth to second, before McElrea got back past and Roe dropped down the order. Traffic then brought Rasmussen back into the clutches of McElrea, who took the lead in a smart move when Rasmussen attempted to lap McElrea's teammate Jamie Chadwick. Rasmussen then used a similar move to get back in front when McElrea lapped Lindh. A late caution reignited the fight for the other podium spaces, with Foster coming out second ahead of McElrea. Rasmussen grew his standings lead to 50 points.

The penultimate destination was Portland International Raceway, where Foster took pole position. The opening lap began with a multi-car crash involving championship leaders Rasmussen and McElrea. Juncos's Victor Franzoni had locked up into turn one and hit Gold, causing further contact and spins. Foster took the restart ahead of Frost and Siegel, and the top trio remained that way until the final stages of the race. There, Siegel got past Frost to finish second. Rasmussen had managed to stay on the lead lap after the crash and salvaged fifth place, while McElrea finished 15th. This extended Rasmussen's lead to 65 points, while Siegel closed up to only five points behind McElrea.[64]

The final weekend of the season at Laguna Seca began with McElrea and Rasmussen sharing pole positions. Little action happened in the opening stages of the race, with McElrea holding the lead ahead of Rasmussen. A safety car for the retiring Foster bunched the field back up, but the restart lasted only a few corners before another caution. Two more cautions further disrupted the race before it ended, also under yellow flag conditions. Rasmussen had chosen not to attack McElrea for the lead, as he only needed to start the next race to secure his championship. McElrea was now 53 points behind him, with Siegel a further 44 points back after having to retire his car.[65]

Rasmussen became the inaugural Indy NXT champion when he started the final race of the season on pole position. He completely controlled the race, building a sizable gap to the rest of the field before a safety car for Simpson and Gold colliding nullified his advantage. He was unassailabe at the restart, breaking away instantly and lapping much faster than everyone else. By the end of the race, he had a 17-second lead. McElrea himself was similarly unchallenged from behind, as he also built a 19-second gap to Foster in third. Siegel finished seventh to claim third in the standings, five points ahead of Foster, which also secured him the Rookie of the Year title.[66]

The championship's first year under the Indy NXT guise was its strongest in a long time. Even as mid-season driver changes set in and drivers withdrew their entries, the grid never dropped below 15 drivers, while the previous year had a maximum of 14 cars competing at a time. While Siegel looked a worthy contender in his rookie year during the first half of the season, experience prevailed in the end. Once Rasmussen had claimed the lead in Iowa, he always looked in control and also made the most of days where luck was not on his side, like his fourth place in Portland after being part of the opening shunt.
