The INDY NXT by Firestone's driver lineup for the upcoming season became clearer Thursday with Alexander Koreiba signing with Juncos Hollinger Racing to drive alongside Ricardo Escotto.

Branson, Missouri native Koreiba tested with the Indianapolis-based team during the annual Chris Griffis Memorial Test last fall on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

Koreiba, 28, has spent the past few years in IMSA, capturing three wins in the HSR Prototype Challenge pro-am class, where the LMP3 entry won the five-race season championship. In his first IMSA season, in 2022, he paired with INDYCAR SERIES veteran Memo Gidley, winning a race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The INDY NXT by Firestone season opens March 1 on the Streets of St. Petersburg.
