Andretti Global announced Jan. 15 that the multiple INDY NXT championship team has formed a technical partnership with Cape Motorsports entering the 2024 INDY NXT by Firestone season.

The newly formed Andretti Cape INDY NXT alliance will see Cape Motorsports receive engineering and operational support from Andretti, building on the successful model between Andretti and Meyer Shank Racing in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.

Cape Motorsports, a Brownsburg, Indiana-based racing team founded by brothers Dominic and Nicholas Cape in 2001, ran two entries in the 2023 INDY NXT season. Cape has won 14 USF2000 Championship titles and has seen success in sports car racing, earning the IMSA Prototype Challenge championship title in 2006. The Andretti Cape INDY NXT alliance will aim to add to Andretti’s five INDY NXT championship titles dating back to 2005.

“We’ve known Dominic and Nicholas Cape for years through junior formulas and have always been impressed by their performance,” Andretti Global J-F Thormann said. “They have built a small, but mighty organization recording many wins and championships, and we are very happy to join forces in this INDY NXT effort. Coming together to bring two cars to the grid will help maintain strength for the sport and is a testament to our dedication to driver development.”

The Andretti Cape INDY NXT team will kick off the season March 8-10 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.

“Both Nicholas and I are thrilled to be forming an alliance with Andretti Global,” Cape Motorsports President Dominic Cape said. “We had been talking to JF for a while about this project, and it is exciting to see it all come together.

“It is truly an honor to be forming an alliance with a name like Andretti. The team has a tremendous racing pedigree. Our core values remain the same, and we continue to strive for victories. Our commitment to the drivers, championships and staff remains unwavering; we are here to race, develop drivers and keep winning.”
