While still an imperfect feeder system for IndyCar, the rebranded Indy Lights Series has a lot going for it in 2023.
IndyCar’s junior league is a picture of health and wealth, with 19 full-time teams slated to take part in the 14-race 2023 series.Among former Lights champions who have gone on to IndyCar stardom include Paul Tracy, Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon, Townsend Bell, J.R. Hildebrand, Josef Newgarden, Sage Karam, Ed Jones and Pato O’Ward.
Not receiving what he anticipated for winning the Lights championship, Lundqvist is still looking for an IndyCar ride with only the $500,000 in seed money. IndyCar is also attempting to help him secure some type of ride, be it a one-off, part-time or perhaps a late full-time entry ..
But even bigger than Firestone’s involvement will be 19 full-time teams, which is the most in the Lights/NXT Series since 2009. There will also be a significant bump up in earnings for NXT drivers. Prize money last season was increased to over $700,000, which will be roughly the same overall season purse in 2023.
