Nolan Siegel had an impressive debut in the NTT IndyCar Series testing with Dale Coyne Racing, finishing just a fraction of a second behind race winner Christian Lundgaard and beating out Alexander Rossi to secure the sixth-fastest lap time. The 19-year-old Indy NXT driver was given the opportunity to test an IndyCar after a meeting between Siegel and Dale Coyne during the Roar Before The 24 test at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Siegel completed 89 laps in the No. 18 Honda and adapted quickly to the differences between the Indy NXT car and the IndyCar, particularly in terms of power and braking. Despite being starstruck by the presence of established drivers like Alexander Rossi and Scott McLaughlin, Siegel felt comfortable and realized that he belonged in IndyCar.
