Season report

Opening rounds

The 2025 Indy NXT season began with a brilliant debut for Andretti's Dennis Hauger, who broke the track record in qualifying around the Streets of St. Petersburg to claim pole position. ^[43] He led from the outset of the race, which was interrupted early by multiple crashes leading to three caution periods. Despite pressure from his teammate Lochie Hughes at each restart, Hauger gradually pulled clear after the third interruption ended on lap 24 and established a commanding lead, before a late crash for Abel/Miller Vinatieri Motorsports’ Jack William Miller brought out the pace car, ending the race under caution. Hauger secured victory ahead of Hughes, with HMD Motorsports’ Caio Collet third. ^[44]

Hauger carried his dominant form into Barber Motorsports Park, taking pole position on a drying track with a lap over half a second clear of the field, while Collet topped the first group to start second. ^[45] Hauger led from the rolling start but, incidents during the opening part of the race caused two cautions. During that period, Collet encountered throttle problems that dropped him out of contention, leaving Hughes, Abel/Force Indy’s Myles Rowe and HMD’s Evagoras Papasavvas to fight for the remaining podium places. Hauger steadily built a gap of over 11 seconds to win ahead of Papasavvas, who resisted Hughes to finish second on debut. Hauger extended his championship lead to 29 points. ^[46]

Hughes led qualifying on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course to secure both pole positions of the weekend. ^[47] At the start of race one, Hauger’s attempt to take the lead around the outside of turn one ended in contact with Rowe and HMD’s Callum Hedge, sending him off track and dropping him to the back of the field. Collet took advantage to slot into second, while Hughes built an early gap. Two cautions interrupted proceedings, but Hughes managed both restarts and controlled the race throughout, eventually finishing ahead of Collet and Rowe. Hauger recovered to eighth, allowing him to narrowly retain the championship lead by three points over Hughes, with Rowe third. ^[48]

Hughes once again started from pole position for race two at Indianapolis, with Hauger alongside on the front row. An early caution was triggered by a multi-car clash involving Miller, Andretti’s James Roe, and HMD’s Nolan Allaer, which also delayed Abel’s Jordan Missig and HMD’s Nikita Johnson. On the restart, Hauger made his move on Hughes to take the lead, and although his team-mate stayed close for much of the distance, Hauger gradually edged away to win by almost five seconds. Behind them, Rowe and Andretti’s Salvador de Alba secured third and fourth. Hauger extended his points lead to 187, ahead of Hughes on 172 points and Rowe losing ground in third on 134 points. ^[49]

Hauger was back in front for qualifying at Detroit, ahead of Hughes. ^[50] The race began with chaos as contact between Hedge and Rowe triggered a multi-car pile-up at turn four, blocking the track and causing a stoppage. At the restart, Hauger led Hughes and de Alba. The Andretti pair fought, both suffered damage and were forced to pit, handing a huge lead to Hauger. His gap was then eradicated when Missig hit the barriers and caused a late caution. That set up a one-lap dash to the finish, which Hauger managed to win ahead of Collet. HMD’s Juan Manuel Correa claimed his first podium in just his third race in third as Hauger extended his championship lead to 240 points, 38 points ahead of Hughes. ^[51]

Mid-season rounds

Round six saw the season’s first oval race at WWTR. Hauger took pole position in a rain-delayed qualifying session, with Collet second. ^[52] The Brazilian immediately passed Hauger to take the lead, while Hughes endured a difficult opening lap and slipped back from fifth. The lead pair quickly broke away from the rest of the field, with Rowe running in third. The order remained largely static, until Hughes started charging through the field using the high line. He quickly reeled in the leaders to move into the lead by lap 62 and pulled away. Rowe followed Hughes’ path forward in the closing laps, ending up in second ahead of Collet. Hughes’ won the race to cut Hauger’s championship lead to 19 points. ^[53]
