After a long break following the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, INDY NXT by Firestone heads to Leeds, Alabama, and the Barber Motorsports Park for the second round of the 2024 season. Miller Vinatieri Motorsports, the newest team to the series, and their driver, Jack William Miller, are hoping for a good weekend in the rolling hills of Alabama.

Both Miller Vinatieri Motorsports and Jack Miller made their INDY NXT debut on the Streets of St. Pete, moving up from the USF Pro Championships program. Their first race weekend was a valuable learning experience, and Miller is confident heading into this weekend.

“We didn’t get the ultimate result we hoped for, but we gained some valuable experience,” Miller said. “I think what we learned last time out will help us move forward, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish this weekend.”

Miller, driver of the #40, is a rookie on the INDY NXT by Firestone series and is looking to find his way up the ranks as he and his team take on the challenge of the highest level of junior open wheel racing in North America.

Miller added, “The INDY NXT field is stacked with talented drivers, but I know we can compete with the best teams and drivers in the series. As the season goes on and we continue to learn more, we’ll prove we have what it takes to be at the front end of the field.”
