The Chris Griffis Memorial Test showed that the competition among the top drivers in Indy NXT by Firestone will be intense during the 2024 season. Louis Foster, a veteran driver, was the fastest on Friday’s test, setting a top lap time of 1m14.8432s. Foster, who finished fourth in the series standings in his rookie season last year, hopes to maintain his performance into 2024. The top five drivers in the test were separated by just 0.1728s on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Jacob Abel and Myles Rowe were second and third respectively, while Nolan Siegel and Caio Collet rounded out the top five. The test featured 21 drivers, two more than the full-time grid in 2023, and produced 1,145 laps despite wet track conditions. The day ended with Rowe going off track and hitting the tire barrier, but fortunately, he was unhurt. The 2024 Indy NXT by Firestone season will begin on March 10 in St. Petersburg.
