Roe hungry for more after Juncos Hollinger IndyCar test

Article via Racer.com

James Roe wants to be an IndyCar Series driver. The Irishman just completed his third season of training in the Indy NXT series with Andretti Global and took the first step in the graduation process by testing an IndyCar on Monday with Juncos Hollinger Racing.

“Awesome day, just great to get in it and feel it out,” Roe told RACER. “Went through a hell of a lot of changes, more than I ever thought were possible today with Juncos crew trying everything out. Think we found some things there. Overall, I think it was pretty positive. Best lap was with no hybrid deploy, no overtake, so put all that in and we should be right there. I want to do more. I said to Ricardo (Juncos) on the in lap, ‘Let’s go test tomorrow!’”

Held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course, Roe produced a top lap of 1m 11.600s, which was in the ballpark of fellow NXT runner Lochie Hughes who delivered a 1m 11.354s tour for Andretti Global. Among the first-time runners, Rahal Letterman Lanigan’s Mick Schumacher was the fastest with a 1m 10.980s.

Juncos Hollinger closed the 2025 season with road course speed as its biggest competitive deficit. The test with Roe helped the team to work through a number of chassis setup ideas that could help the program next year and left JHR’s founder feeling impressed by the 27-year-old’s contributions.

“I think he did a fantastic job in his first-ever IndyCar test, showing a high level of professionalism both inside and outside the car,” said Juncos, who presided over the test. “Compared to other drivers running under the same conditions, James was immediately on pace within his first two outings, showing how quickly he adapted to the new car.

“What stood out to me the most was his feedback and the confidence he showed when communicating with the engineers. He was already guiding them in the right direction, demonstrating not only the right personality and approach but also a strong technical understanding of the race car. I see great potential for him in IndyCar if he’s surrounded by the right program and supported by a well-planned, long-term strategy. Our whole team enjoyed working with him, and we’re excited to see where his development takes him next.”

Finding the right program is going to be hard for Roe as most of the available seats have drivers earmarked for 2026.

“Honestly, I’ll take whatever I can get right now,” he said. “You know, beggars can’t be choosers. At times, it’s hard to know where to driver market is at. Me and my sponsors said we’d get through the test and then then chat about where we can go. I’d take an Indy 500-only program. I’d take a road course-only program, a full season, if I could. More testing. Whatever we can. Today was about getting out and seeing where we’re at and I think it’s looking pretty promising if the right seat opens.”

James Roe Completes Successful Test with Juncos Hollinger’s INDYCAR Team

On Monday, James Roe took part in a one-day INDYCAR test on the IMS Road Course. This was his first chance to drive an Indy car, as he piloted the #76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet.

The test was an integral step in Roe’s pursuit of a full-time INDYCAR seat, as well as the team’s commitment to develop young talent moving up from INDY NXT. Having now done a successful test, it shows his ability to provide engineering feedback at the highest level.

“It was great to have James with us for Monday’s test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” said Ricardo Juncos, President of Juncos Hollinger Racing. “I think he did a fantastic job in his first-ever INDYCAR test, showing a high level of professionalism both inside and outside the car. Compared to other drivers running under the same conditions, James was immediately on pace within his first two outings, showing how quickly he adapted to the new car.”

“What stood out to me the most was his feedback and the confidence he showed when communicating with the engineers,” continued Juncos. “He was already guiding them in the right direction, demonstrating not only the right personality and approach but also a strong technical understanding of the race car. I see great potential for him in INDYCAR if he’s surrounded by the right program and supported by a well-planned, long-term strategy. Our whole team enjoyed working with him, and we’re excited to see where his development takes him next.”

It was truly a great day on track, and a full circle moment for me to finally get in an Indy car, something I have dreamed of for many years,” said James Roe. “The test left me hungry for more.”

“We got through many test items for the team, and I was comfortable and felt right at home. There were some issues with the hybrid system in the afternoon that kept us from showing the true speed. However, we know we would have been in the top four of the day for sure. Bottom line, I felt really good out there and the Indy car feels like home.”

Looking towards 2026, Roe Autosport is analyzing all options in the coming weeks, with a variety of great opportunities on the table.

This incredible momentum, on and off the track, is powered by the unwavering support of our partners. Thank you for your dedication in 2025 and buckle up for next season!

Merlo America Shifts into High Gear with Driver James Roe

August 19, 2025 — INDY NXT driver James Roe is proud to welcome Merlo America as an official sponsor, beginning with the upcoming Milwaukee Mile event and continuing into a full-season partnership for 2026.

This weekend’s race will be the debut for Merlo America on Roe’s Andretti Global ride. Beyond the circuit, Roe will also connect with Merlo America’s network of dealers and customers at CONEXPO 2026, North America’s largest construction trade show held in Las Vegas between March 3-7, 2026.

“Merlo America’s commitment to innovation and performance mirrors James’s own unstoppable approach to racing,” said Cole Renken, General Manager for Merlo America. “We hope that having our support, starting at Milwaukee and building into next season, will be a welcome boost as James pushes for victories and continues climbing the ladder toward INDYCAR.” 

The announcement comes as Roe competes in his third season of INDY NXT by Firestone, where he has already achieved multiple podiums, a pole position, and a lap record. In addition to his open-wheel campaign with Andretti Global, Roe is participating in select IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship events with Pratt Miller Motorsports.

Backed by over 60 years of innovation and craftsmanship, Merlo America represents the Merlo Group in the U.S. market, and through this collaboration with Roe and his racing partners, the brand is set to reach an even broader audience across North America.

“I’m super excited to team up with Merlo America for the Milwaukee race and beyond,” said Roe. “Their commitment to innovation, technology and excellence really resonates with me. I believe that together, we can push boundaries and elevate each other both on and off the race track”

Roe’s determination and winning mindset have made a strong impression on the motorsport community, showcasing both his talent behind the wheel and his relentless drive to succeed. The Merlo America team is excited to stand trackside in Milwaukee, cheering James on and celebrating their first race of the partnership.

“At Merlo America, we pride ourselves on machines that elevate, and we look forward to supporting Roe, a motorsport star who expertly accelerates on some of the world’s fastest tracks. This partnership is raising performance to a new level, both on the job site and the podium, and is the start of something remarkable,” Jennifer Brigman, Vice President of Strategy and Operations at Merlo America.

The two-day race weekend will feature a busy Saturday, with a morning practice (9 a.m. ET, FS2) that leads into single-car qualifying (3:30 p.m. ET, FS2). Sunday’s 90-lap race will air on FS1 starting at 11:30 a.m. ET. SiriusXM will also host live IndyCar Radio coverage of all sessions on XM Ch. 218.

James Roe gets first 24 Hour Race Under His Belt

Daytona, FL (28 January 2025) Through a sunset, sunrise, and 24 hours later, the checkered flag waved over the cars that made it through one of the greatest endurance races in the world.

James Roe made his IMSA debut this weekend, driving in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona for Pratt Miller Motorsport’s No. 73 LMP2 entry. The car and team of four drivers was having a solid, steady race heading into the eighth hour, when a racing incident caused chaos for many in the field.

On a post-yellow restart, the driver of the No. 40 GTP Wayne Taylor Cadillac lost control while exiting turn two on cold tires. The car bounced off the barrier and back into the racing line, where it was hit by multiple race vehicles. As cars came into the crash zone out of a blind corner, Roe’s teammate Chris Cummings was the second to make contact, in what became the biggest crash of the event.

“We were having a great race and had the car in the right place all evening,” said Roe. “We were on the lead lap with no penalties or damage until Chris got caught in that pile up. There was nothing he could have done about it, and just one of those unfortunate scenarios. But the team did an amazing job getting the car back out there to ensure we got Championship points.”

In an endurance race, co-drivers rotate driving duties, navigating different conditions throughout the day and nighttime hours. Roe drove 7.5 stints and approximately 5 hours. Even with the crash and extensive time needed for repairs, the No. 73 finished in tenth position in the LMP2 category and 41st overall out of 61 entries.

“My stints felt great,” explained Roe. “I had to double-stint tires every run, which was certainly challenging as we built pace throughout the race. We did what we needed to do to hold position and keep the car clean when the last hours came around.”

Roe’s next IMSA outing is the Twelve Hours of Sebring, which is the second endurance event of the 2025 season. The race takes place March 12-15, two weeks after INDY NXT’s first round in St. Petersburg, FL. Throughout February, Roe will continue training and prep for his double-duty racing season.

“Anytime you’re in a race car is beneficial and provides great experience,” said Roe when asked about the difference between his LMP2 car and INDY NXT open-wheel car. “For me, the biggest difference has to be braking and tire life. The two cars are in different worlds when it comes to how they react and feel in each area.

Roe Takes on Daytona

Daytona International Speedway is bustling with race teams and drivers from all over the globe, as the first race of the IMSA season is upon us. 

The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona is North America’s most prestigious sports car race. From sunrise to sunset and through the night, this 24-hour marathon race tests the limits of both driver and machine.

James Roe makes his IMSA debut this weekend, driving for the Oshkosh Corporation owned – Pratt Miller Motorsport’s LMP2 entry. The 26-year-old will compete in the No. 73 ORECA 07 alongside drivers Pietro Fittipaldi, Callum Illott and Chris Cumming. The 12-entry LMP2 class is seeing a boom in popularity with veteran teams and drivers participating. 

And at the “Roar Before the 24” this past weekend, Roe and his Pratt Miller team found good pace, logging laps in six of the practice sessions. 

 

“The Roar weekend was great,” said Roe. “This was my first time in the car and at Daytona Speedway. So, there were many new things to take in, from the car itself, to tire management, traffic management and fuel saving. All important things for the race. The team has been awesome, and my teammates are super helpful at getting me up to speed in a new program.”

The IMSA series features multi-class racing. That means there are FOUR different classes of cars on track at the same time. Part of the driver’s skill is navigating the varied speeds of the cars around you. In addition, for an endurance race like Daytona, each entry will have up to 4 drivers who share the seat throughout the 24 hours.

“Endurance racing has always appealed to me,” continued Roe. “And when the opportunity presented itself to not only compete in one of the world’s largest races, but also expand our racing program for our partners, it was a no brainer.” 

The 63rd Rolex 24 at Daytona will have flag to flag coverage this weekend on Peacock. In addition, broadcast coverage of the race coverage will begin Saturday, Jan. 25 at 1:30 p.m. ET on NBC and move to USA Network from 2:30-6:30 p.m. The conclusion of the race is back on NBC from noon to 2 p.m.

“Looking forward to getting my first ever endurance race under my belt,” says Roe. “And fingers crossed my three teammates and I will be fighting for a win when hour 24 comes around.”

James Roe Returns to Andretti Global for 2025 INDY NXT Season

INDIANAPOLIS (October 16, 2024) – Andretti Global announced today that James Roe will return to Andretti INDY NXT for the third consecutive year piloting the No. 29 Topcon Andretti Dallara. The INDY NXT veteran will join already announced Andretti INDY NXT teammates Lochie Hughes and Salvador de Alba for the upcoming season.

Roe kicked off his 2024 season with a podium finish in INDY NXT’s second round at the physically demanding Barber Motorsports Park and a top-five finish to open the month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After a strong start to the year, Roe suffered a wrist injury at the Detroit Grand Prix only five races into the season. Determined to continue competing, he underwent minimally invasive surgery and was able to complete the full 14-race calendar. The Irish driver made an impressive comeback at Iowa Speedway, scoring his first INDY NXT career pole position in track record-breaking fashion and translating that into his second podium finish of the season. Roe finished the 2024 season with seven top-10 and five top-five finishes.

A long-time partner of Roe, Topcon will remain in their primary position across the No. 29 livery for the 2025 INDY NXT season with Ring Power Corporation set to return as an associate partner.

Roe will begin preparations for the 2025 season on October 18 at the Chris Griffis Memorial Test on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course representing the Andretti INDY NXT team.

J-F THORMANN, PRESIDENT, ANDRETTI GLOBAL

“James has been a key part of the success our INDY NXT team has had over the past few seasons, and we’re thankful that he’ll call Andretti INDY NXT his home for the 2025 season. The step up into INDY NXT can be a difficult one, and James is proving that committing to the development process and being patient does pay off. His consistency and tenacity were on full display in 2024, and we’re all looking forward to watching him continue to progress and succeed as a driver in the upcoming season.”

JAMES ROE, DRIVER, ANDRETTI INDY NXT

“My partners and I are thrilled to return to Andretti INDY NXT in the No. 29 Topcon Andretti Dallara to race for the 2025 INDY NXT by Firestone Championship. We enjoyed great moments of success together this past season and our 2025 goal is to make Andretti back-to-back INDY NXT Champions.”
