Andretti Global and Cape Motorsports have confirmed their long-rumored union, adding two additional entries to Andretti’s Indy NXT program for the upcoming season through their collaboration with the Cape brothers. Salvador de Alba, a talented driver from Mexico, has been announced as the first driver in the new Andretti Cape arrangement. De Alba had a strong performance last year, finishing third in the USF Pro 2000 championship with one win and four podiums. He expressed his excitement about joining Andretti Cape and competing in Indy NXT for the first time. The two-year deal includes a move to the main Andretti NXT effort in 2025, and de Alba will be working with race engineer Trevor Green-Smith. Andretti Global president JF Thormann believes that de Alba’s experience and enthusiasm will be a valuable addition to the Andretti Cape IndyCar NXT team and looks forward to his development and growth in the coming years.
