Danial Frost, a talented Singaporean racer, had been working towards his goal of graduating from Indy NXT to the NTT IndyCar Series in 2024. However, due to his national military service obligations, he will have to wait until at least 2026 to realize that dream. Frost, who won the opening Indy NXT race last season and achieved sixth place in the standings with three podium finishes, was aligned with Dale Coyne Racing. In order to fulfill his compulsory commitment to serve his nation in the Singaporean military for the next two years, Frost has decided to take a brief pause from racing. During this time, he intends to keep his passion for motorsports alive through public relations efforts focused on their next goal: IndyCar. Frost began his American open-wheel racing career in 2018 and has since progressed through USF2000 and Indy Pro 2000 before landing in Indy NXT with Andretti Global in 2021. With a strong performance in an IndyCar test and a development contract with Dale Coyne Racing, Frost seemed poised to secure one of Coyne’s two vacant IndyCar seats. However, his military service confirmation means that the six-year veteran of the USF Championships and Indy NXT is no longer in contention for an IndyCar opportunity at this time.
