Matthew Brabham will replace Matteo Nannini for this weekend’s Indy NXT race at Iowa Speedway.
The move comes after Juncos Hollinger Racing parted ways with Nannini, the winner of the Indianapolis Road Course event.
“I’m really grateful and excited to represent Juncos Hollinger Racing this weekend in Iowa,” he said. “Thank you to Ricardo [Juncos] and Brad [Hollinger] for the opportunity. It’s going to be challenging, having missed the Indy NXT testing and races this year. However, my confidence is high as I was definitely the guy to beat on all the ovals last year.
“There are a few tricks to Iowa that I hope I can capitalize on again. The new Firestone tires will change things up a little and there are a lot of unknowns, but we will do our best to make sure we have a great run at Iowa. It’s a great feeling to be back!”
JHR will name the driver for races after Iowa at a later time adding that this was a one-off race for Brabham.
Brabham drove in the 2022 season for Andretti Autosport in the NXT series. He made two starts in IndyCar during the 2016 season driving the No. 61 car for Pirtek Team Murray, who ran the May events that season.
