Jamie Chadwick achieved her first podium finish in the Indy NXT series during the first race of the doubleheader on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, a result of her massive offseason effort with Andretti Indy. This milestone makes her the first female Indy NXT/Lights driver to reach the podium since Pippa Mann in 2010. Chadwick's performance was highlighted by her ability to maintain position during multiple late restarts, ultimately finishing ahead of all competitors except the two leading title contenders. The race was won by Jacob Abel, who managed to hold off Nolan Siegel.
