– Myles Rowe heads to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca fresh off of his first INDY NXT career victory at the Iowa Speedway
Monterey, CA (July 25, 2026) – Scoring their first victory of the 2025 INDY NXT by Firestone Season at the Iowa Speedway, ABEL Motorsports heads to the West Coast and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for rounds 10 and 11 of the season.
For the most recent series winner Rowe, the trip to California has him excited for the weekend and opportunity that lies ahead.
“Can’t wait to get to California and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and for a double-header. We have all the confidence right now after our win, and I am really looking to carry that through both races this weekend,” exclaimed Rowe.
I love driving at Laguna Seca, and with double the amount of points on the table this weekend we are going to be fighting hard to chip away at the championship leaders gap, and see what we can grab this weekend,” said Rowe.
Callum Hedge too is a fan of the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and the surrounding areas because for him, it reminds him of his home in New Zealand.
“I always love heading out to California and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and being able to see the ocean for the first time in a while, it reminds me of being back home in New Zealand,” explained the Kiwi.
“We showed strong pace here during testing earlier this year, and have a car that handles really well so we are looking for some results this weekend, and have two opportunities to do that,” said Hedge.
Comparing his comfortability in the INDY NXT car now to at the beginning of the year, Joliet Illinois native, Jordan Missig, feels that the confidence he has in the number 48 car coupled with the speed he showed during testing here could equate to some strong results this weekend.
“Excited to see what Laguna Seca has in store for the 48 car this weekend. We had a pretty decent package here when we tested in February, but we have learned and developed so much more since then that I see us being very competitive this weekend,” said Jordan Missig
“We are always looking at points and with two races on the docket this weekend meaning twice the opportunity to bag championship points and move up the board even further,” explained Missig.
A pair of top-ten finishes at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for Jack William Miller in 2024 has the series sophomore eager to return to California in 2025 to see what he can get done now with additional experience under his belt.
“Year two in INDY NXT has been great, and I am hoping to continue that trend this weekend at Laguna. I was pretty strong here last year, but think we can do even better this season with the help of ABEL Motorsports,” said Jack William Miller.
“Laguna is such an iconic track to drive at, and the elevation changes make it such a unique place to drive at. Just really looking for two solid races out of the Patterson Dental / HomeLink machine this weekend,” exclaimed Miller.
