Oregonian teenager John Pierson will be fully focused on the Indy NXT by Firestone series next year with the defending series champions at HMD Motorsports. After splitting his time between European endurance racing and American junior open-wheel competition, Pierson will return to HMD and compete in the complete 14-race calendar as preparation for his desired move to the NTT IndyCar Series. Pierson described this year as a learning experience, aiming to gain as much experience as possible. Despite the lack of testing before the 2023 season, Pierson believes they will be in a better position for their 2024 campaign. Pierson will also continue as an Ed Carpenter Racing Junior Driver, embedded with the IndyCar team throughout the next season.
