Junior open-wheel talent Yuven Sundaramoorthy is taking the final step of his training to Indy NXT with the emerging Abel Motorsports team. A native of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, the 20-year-old has been active on the open-wheel ladder since 2017, with a run to third in the 2021 USF2000 championship serving as his best season-long achievement where he earned four wins.
Having run four NXT races with Abel late in the 2023 season as a precursor to going full-time in 2024, Sundaramoorthy is primed to continue his journey with one of the series’ rising programs.
“I’m extremely happy to have signed with Abel Motorsports for the 2024 Indy NXT season,” said Sundaramoorthy, who aspires to become the first Indian-American IndyCar driver. “I had an amazing experience running the last couple of Indy NXT races with them to cap off my 2023 season and I have a ton of confidence in the crew that we can create some solid results together next season. This wouldn’t be possible without my family, sponsors, and partners, so thank you to them.”

With Jacob Abel poised to turn his first NXT pole position and four podiums into a title run and the potential contained within Sundaramoorthy, Abel Motorsports enters the new season with another strong lineup to challenge its bigger rivals.
“We are extremely excited that Yuven is going to be back with Abel Motorsports for the 2024 Indy NXT season and getting to build on what we learned together in 2023,” said team owner Bill Abel. “You know, Yuven joined us towards the end of last season for a few races to get his feet wet in the series, and the poise and talent he showed spoke volumes for what he can bring to our team, so we can’t wait to see what he can do in 2024.”
