Juncos Hollinger Racing has announced the two drivers who will front its return to Indy Nxt after a season out.

Juncos raced in Indy Nxt in 2012, then again from 2015 to ’19. The series did not run in 2020, but Juncos was on the grid the year after. It missed for a variety of factors, but has ended its USFP2000 programme to enable a Indy Nxt return with two cars
