Kiwi drivers Callum Hedge and Liam Sceats have completed a successful INDY NXT by Firestone test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the US. The Chris Griffis Memorial Test saw Miles Rowe top the time sheets with Hedge and Sceats coming in fourth and fifth fastest.
Rowe set a time of 1 minute, 15.1848 seconds ahead of Series newcomer and F2 driver, Dennis Hauger, who made an impressive debut by ending up second at 1:15.3285.
Series newcomer, 2024 USF Pro 2000 champion Lochie Hughes, was third overall at 1:15.3736 with Series veteran Callum Hedge fourth at 1:15.4443.
Liam Sceats rounded out the top five at 1:15.5162. USF Pro 2000 veteran Sceats has not been named to a car yet for the 2025 INDY NXT season but grabbed attention up and down the IMS pit lane with his performance.
Twenty-two drivers from six teams combined to turn 1,572 laps during the test, named in memory of Chris Griffis, the team manager of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports who passed away suddenly in September 2011.
The 2025 INDY NXT by Firestone season starts Sunday, March 2 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.
