Andretti Global announced on Tuesday that 17-year-old Seb Murray will make his INDY NXT presented by Firestone race debut with the Andretti Cape INDY NXT team at the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding.

Speaking about the news, Murray said:

“I can’t wait to be racing with Andretti Cape in INDY NXT this year and would like to thank everybody on the team for giving me this opportunity. I’m confident that 2025 is going to be a fun season with lots of new experiences for me, such as competing on ovals for the first time. Testing with Andretti Cape INDY NXT in Sebring was a nice way to get to know my teammates, engineer and the No. 2 crew ahead of the season. I know that INDY NXT is a big step up, but I am prepared to take on the challenge. I can’t wait to get started.”

Murray will pilot the No. 2 Dream Racing Dubai Dallara. Speaking about his addition to the team, J-F Thormann, Head of Driver Development with Andretti Global said:

We’re happy to have Seb round out our Andretti Cape lineup for the 2025 INDY NXT season. The Andretti Cape program that we launched last year proved to be successful, and I think that this is a great place for Seb to get his start in American open-wheel racing. After seeing what he can do in F4 and GB3, we believe that this step to INDY NXT early in his racing career is going to be an excellent and essential learning experience for him.

Dominic Cape, President of Cape Motorsports commented saying:

“We are extremely excited to have Seb in our Andretti Cape lineup for the 2025 INDY NXT season. Last week’s test in Sebring gave us some insight into working with him, and for his first time in an INDY NXT car, he was able to adapt and give us some great feedback. The team is eager to work with him the rest of the season and help advance his career to the next level.”
