Andretti Global with Cape Motorsports

Cape Motorsports, one of the most successful teams in junior formula racing, returns to INDY NXT by Firestone in 2023 with drivers Jagger Jones and Enaam Ahmed.

The team, run by brothers Nicolas and Dominic Cape, has a storied history, capturing 14 USF2000 Championship titles in the last 21 years, including 10 of the last 12 driver titles. The team has also seen success in sports car racing, earning the IMSA Prototype Challenge championship title in 2006.

The team first competed in INDYCAR’s development series in 2007, 2008 and 2010. In 2007 and 2008, the Cape brothers managed the RLR Andersen Racing team (a partnership between Dan Andersen and Rahal Letterman Racing) with a driver lineup that included future series champion JR Hildebrand, with whom the Capes had captured the USF2000 title in 2006. The team returned to INDY NXT by Firestone in 2010 in partnership with Wayne Taylor Racing, with Gustavo Yacamán behind the wheel.
