“Nolan Allaer, a talented young racer, is making a significant leap from racing Formula Fords to competing in Indy NXT with the defending champions at HMD Motorsports. He has been actively involved in racing in both the US and England, and his impressive performances caught the attention of HMD GM Mike Maurini, leading to his signing with the team for his rookie campaign in NXT. This opportunity is a dream come true for Allaer, who reached out to Maurini through social media and was welcomed by the team. Their knowledge and experience will greatly aid in his development as a driver. Making such a move from the bottom of the open-wheel ladder to NXT or IndyCar is rare, with the most notable attempt being by George Mack in 2002. Despite the challenges, Allaer has been preparing diligently and testing various vehicles in order to be ready for the upcoming season. The recent Sebring test provided valuable experience for Nolan to face different conditions and scenarios, enhancing his preparation for the upcoming Laguna Seca test.”
