Indy Pro 2000

On February 22, 2021, it was announced that Roe would be joining Turn 3 Motorsport to compete in the 2021 Indy Pro 2000 Championship. [5] Roe managed to get his first win of the season at the final race in Mid-Ohio, finishing ahead of Enaam Ahmed and 2021 series champion, Christian Rasmussen. [6]

Indy NXT

For the 2022 season, Roe moved to TJ Speed Motorsports to compete in the Indy Lights series. [3] He scored three top ten finishes in his nine races with the team before contesting two rounds with HMD. As Roe missed the final three races, he ended up 12th in the standings.

On January 4, 2023, it was announced that Roe would compete full-time in the 2023 Indy NXT season for Andretti Autosport. [2] Having fought for the win at the Indianapolis Road Course, Roe scored his first podium in the series, finishing second. [7] He ended the season seventh in the championship, finishing ahead of Jamie Chadwick but behind Hunter McElrea and Louis Foster in the teammate battle. [8] In 2024, Roe remained in Indy NXT and once again partnered Chadwick and Foster at Andretti. [9] During a patchy first half of the season, which included three retirements, Roe managed to score a sole podium at Barber, finishing third. [10] At the first oval race in Iowa, Roe took the first pole position of his NXT career, setting the series' lap record at the track in the process. [11] Having led the vast majority of the race, Roe was passed by teammate Foster late on and finished second. [12]
