Hailee Deegan is worth keeping an eye on this season, as she makes the switch to Indy NXT from Stock Car racing. She recorded a time of 00:25.9388, which placed her in 15th overall.
Tommy Smith’s slowest time of 00:26.4323 shows just how tight the entire field was in the testing session. This teases some very close competition to come later in the season when Indy NXT hits the ovals for the first time.
Jonathan Browne was the driver who completed the most laps – a whopping 194. Callum Hedge meanwhile was at the other end of the spectrum, only completing 91.
