The 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone season has arrived and welcomes their newest team and competitor to the series, Miller Vinatieri Motorsports. The season is set to kick off this weekend on a street course through Downtown St. Petersburg, Florida for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, and Jack William Miller, although returning to the 1.8-mile, 14-turn circuit barrier-lined street course, does so for the first time in Indy NXT machinery.

Leveling up from the USF Pro Championships series, Miller Vinatieri Motorsports, and their driver Jack William Miller, hope to make a splash in this year’s competition. With a mix of veteran and rookie drivers entering the INDY NXT by Firestone series this year, Miller will not only be looking to compete for race wins and podium results but also rookie-of-the-year honors as the only single-car effort.

“I’m excited to be taking this next step in my career,” explained the driver of the #40 car, Jack William Miller. “This year marks a whole new level of competition, and I think the team and I have stepped up our game to be up there competing with some of the top teams and drivers in the series. There are a lot of rookies this year, and I’ve raced against many of them, even some of the veterans, so I’m hoping to use that knowledge to my advantage going into this first race weekend of the season.”
