Note: This concludes a series of 2026 INDY NXT by Firestone team previews on INDYNXT.com. The season starts Sunday, March 1 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida (10 a.m. ET, FS1, FOX One, FOX One, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network).

Starting Lineup: Alexander Koreiba (No. 75 Juncos Hollinger Racing), Ricardo Escotto (No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing)

2025 in Review: Juncos Hollinger Racing didn’t compete in INDY NXT by Firestone last season. It last competed during the 2024 season.

New for ’26: Ricardo Escotto (photo, top) rejoins the team. Escotto, 21, from Mexico, competed with JHR during a five-race stint in mid-2024 before contesting the majority of the 2025 schedule with Andretti Cape INDY NXT. American Koreiba, 28, moves to open wheel racing following a stint in sports car racing, highlighted by capturing the 2024 HSR Prototype Challenge presented by IMSA championship. He also competed in the IMSA Prototype Challenge.

Keep an Eye on This: The team earned two INDY NXT championships, in 2015 and 2017. The team also recorded 18 wins, 18 pole positions and 51 podium finishes in INDY NXT competition between 2015 and 2021.

Little-Known Fact: Koreiba (photo, below) has INDY NXT experience, albeit in a test setting. The Missouri native competed in the annual Chris Griffis Memorial Test -- the INDY NXT by Firestone fall test -- the past two years on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. He did so with JHR, giving both sides familiarity and allowing Koreiba to show he was worthy of the second seat on a full-time basis.
