Lindsay Brewer has made history by becoming the first American female since Leilani Munter in 2007 to join INDY NXT.
Brewer is set to join Juncos Hollinger Racing in IndyCar's official feeder series in 2024 where she will pilot the team’s #76 Dallara. As the anticipation builds for her debut in the IndyCar Series, let's delve into the 26-year-old's background.
Born on April 17, 1997, in Arvada, Colorado, Brewer was introduced to the world of karting at the young age of 11. The Colorado native continued to compete in various karting events till 2014.
Lindsay Brewer stepped away from racing for four years in order to pursue her education. It wasn't before 2019 that the soon-to-be INDY NXT driver made her return to racing action.

Beyond her exploits on the racing circuit, Brewer wears another hat — she is a model, represented by her general manager, Chris Young.
