Nolan Siegel is a rising star in the NTT IndyCar Series. He’s raced and won in a variety of cars coming into the 2024 season and made his racing debut in the Indy car at the Thermal Club event in March where he put on a very competitive drive just missing out on a transfer spot to the final shootout. A California native only19 years of age, we caught up with him at the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he was making his first points-paying start in the series. In this interview he tells us about his racing background, preparing for this event and also how his first trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway went where he completed his rookie test. He went on from here to try to qualify for the 500 but unfortunately crashed out trying to go ‘flat-out’ during his qualifying run. At Long Beach, he went quicker in every practice and qualifying session and ultimately finished 20th after starting 27th. He got a late call-up to fill in for Augustin Canapino at Road America where he jumped out of his Indy NXT car and completed the weekend in the Indy car finishing 23rd. This driver is certainly one to watch in the future and has received positive reviews from his peers in the series which is always satisfying. Enjoy!
