James Roe will pursue the Indy NXT title one more time with Andretti Global. The Irishman placed sixth in the championship last season, his third in NXT.

“James has been a key part of the success our Indy NXT team has had over the past few seasons, and we’re thankful that he’ll call Andretti Indy NXT his home for the 2025 season,” said team president J-F Thormann. “The step up into Indy NXT can be a difficult one, and James is proving that committing to the development process and being patient does pay off. His consistency and tenacity were on full display in 2024, and we’re all looking forward to watching him continue to progress and succeed as a driver in the upcoming season.”

Roe also hopes to complement his NXT program with outings in IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to further prepare for a desired move up to the NTT IndyCar Series in 2026.

“My partners and I are thrilled to return to Andretti Indy NXT in the No. 29 Topcon Andretti Dallara to race for the 2025 Indy NXT by Firestone championship,” Roe said. “We enjoyed great moments of success together this past season and our 2025 goal is to make Andretti back-to-back Indy NXT champions.”
