Top Six for Roe in Detroit

Detroit, MI. (Sunday, June 4, 2023)– Ireland’s James Roe continued to showcase his experience and consistency the INDY NXT™ by Firestone championship with two top-ten finishes in this weekend’s challenging doubleheader on the streets of Detroit. Roe drove his No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport beautifully on Sunday to finish sixth in the second race of the INDY NXT by Firestone Detroit Grand Prix doubleheader.

After two races around the 1.7 mile, 9-turn street circuit, Roe sits ninth in the championship standing with 117 points – with just 6 points separating him from teammate Louis Foster in 6th place After an unfortunate mechanical issue in the season opener, the 24-year-old has delivered four straight top-ten finishes for his partners Topcon, CES Power, Strong Roots, Ring Power Corporation and The Ireland Funds.

In race one,a full course caution after the first corner made for a dramatic start to the event – including front wing damage for Roe. Despite that damage,, Roe made a gritty drive to improve from his starting position of 13th to sixth place by lap seven..Contact with Danial Frost on lap 22 caused further challenges for the No. 29 Topcon machine with damage to the rear diffuser. Drawing on his deep experience, Roe powered through to hold onto a 10th place finish in his damaged car.

“We just hung in there, it was a crazy race,” Roe said. “Got hit in the start and lost the front wing but decided not to pit and to just persevere. All things considered, with no front wing and a damaged rear diffuser, they were still good points.”

Race 2 offered a clean slate and repaired machine for Roe. Starting 11th, he avoided collisions which brought out two full course cautions. Roe showed his patience and strategic prowess as he , capitalized on others’ mistakes on the tricky Detroit circuit to gain positions and secure a sixth place finish.

“It was a clean race and that is what we wanted,” Roe said. “It’s just so hard to pass around here. Once we got by the drivers in front of us, we dropped them and caught up with the guys in front. There is a lot of pace there and we just have to keep moving forward.”

The INDY NXT series sees action again on Sunday, June 18 at Road America  in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

More Points for Roe at Indy

Indianapolis, Ind. (Monday, May 15, 2023)– James Roe continues to show why he’s among Ireland’s best. After qualifying a season-best eighth on Friday, Roe pushed his pace on race day, piloting his No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara to a seventh place finish over the yard of bricks. This strong drive around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course was his second straight top ten finish in the INDY NXT™ by Firestone season.

Earning 28 points for the finish, the 24-year-old rises to ninth in the championship standings  for his partners in Topcon Positioning Systems, CES Power, Strong Roots, Ring Power Corporation and The Ireland Funds. 

“It was a clean race, I moved forward at the start,” Roe said. “The pace is so close in this championship right now that there wasn’t a lot going on once the race settled in. I think there was only one pass in the whole field in front of me throughout the 35 laps. So I settled in and focused on collecting more points. I’m really proud of the #29 crew, we had a few little issues over the weekend and they dug deep and got everything sorted for our race.” 

Roe will look to take his strong form into the double header on the streets of Detroit on June 3 and 4. The Irishman sits just  five points behind teammate Louis Foster in seventh and Jacob Abel in eighth who each have 74 points. 

Roe concluded – “We’re getting there on where we want to be pace wise and we moved up the championship order so we need to keep building”.

Roe Takes Positive Momentum From Barber to Indy Road Course

Indianapolis, Ind. (Wednesday, May 10, 2023)- The INDY NXTTM by Firestone season stops at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway after a thrilling race at Barber Motorsports Park two weeks ago. The timing couldn’t be better for James Roe as he looks to continue his strong form across the yard of bricks after an impressive showing at Barber.

Roe avoided the numerous incidents at Barber to record a clean race. The 24-year-old Irishman improved in the points standings through two races after his first top five finish of the season.

Roe looks to put another clean weekend together in his No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara around the 14 turn, 2.4 mile IMS road course which includes portions of turns 1 and 2 from the iconic oval.

“I’m excited to get to IMS this weekend and kick off the iconic month of May here in Indy,” Roe said. “Indianapolis is home for me here in the U.S. so we’re aiming for a strong run at my ‘home track’ and to continue the momentum we built at Barber.”

Five different drivers have been on the podium through two races in the INDY NXTTM by Firestone season. Roe looks to increase that number and add his name to over 100 years of history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Roe Bursts Through at Barber for Top Five Finish

The Ireland Funds announces partnership with talented Irish INDY NXT driver James Roe

Birmingham, Ala. (Sunday, April 30, 2023)– The eight weeks since the opening round of the Indy NXT by Firestone championship in St. Petersburg was worth the wait for James Roe as he showed his poise and overtaking ability at Barber Motorsports Park in the  INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix of Alabama. Having started  10th with the No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara, the Irish star avoided trouble and made some beautiful passes on a tough Barber track to notch a  fifth place finish.

The top Andretti Autosport finisher, Roe earned 30 championship points for his team and for his partners in Topcon Positioning Systems, CES Power, Strong Roots, Ring Power Corporation, and The Ireland Funds.  

“It was a good race with a good recovery for the No. 29 Topcon Dallara,” Roe said. “Going from 10th to 5th is obviously good on a track that isn’t known to be easy to pass on. We just stayed out of trouble, stayed clean and had a lot of pace at the beginning of the race. I think we fell off a little more than some other cars out there, especially on the starts and restarts, but I think it was the best of what we could’ve done.”

There were numerous incidents which caused two full course cautions, one of which turned into a red flag. Roe was seventh for most of the race, but avoided a collision on the final lap between Danial Frost and Josh Green to move into the top five.

“Staying clean paid off for us today and we know what we need to work on, so I’m excited to get to IMS in a few weeks,” Roe said.

Throughout the weekend, Craig Breen was on the mind and the car of Roe. Breen passed away on April 13 in an accident during a WRC Croatia Rally testing session. 

“Craig was a gent who represented Ireland well at the top level of global motorsport,” Roe said. “I’m glad I was able to have my best result of the season so far. That one’s for Craig.”

Roe Looks to Bounce Back at Barber

The Ireland Funds announces partnership with talented Irish INDY NXT driver James Roe

Birmingham, Ala. (Thursday, April 27, 2023) – Nearly two months after the opening Grand Prix of the INDY NXT™ by Firestone season on the streets of St. Petersburg, Irish driver James Roe looks to get his season rolling this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park for round two of the INDY NXT™ by Firestone series.

The 24-year-old Irish driver showed his pace in his No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara in pre-season testing. Unfortunately, neither he nor the No. 29 crew got to show their strong potential in the opening round in St. Petersburg as Roe retired with an unfortunate mechanical issue.

Opportunity awaits at Barber for Roe, who announced a partnership with The Ireland Funds earlier this week. With  17 turns and 80 feet of elevation changes, the flowing 2.3 mile road course offers lots of surface for Roe to find a great result for his partners in Topcon, CES Power, Strong Roots, Ring Power Corporation along with The Ireland Funds.

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the No. 29 Topcon car and getting our season going again,” Roe said. “After the large gap from St. Pete, we have been working away extremely hard in the background and there is a lot of positive energy in the team at the moment. It is time to put it all to good use.”

If recent showings are anything to go by, It should be a fierce battle Sunday afternoon, as the top 20 drivers in the field were separated by less than nine tenths of a second during qualifying at round one.

On his motorsport journey, the ambitious driver has recorded numerous wins, pole positions, and podium finishes across every series he’s competed in to-date.

In January, Andretti Autosport and Roe announced that the 24-year-old would join the world-renowned team for the 2023 INDY NXT by Firestone season – the final developmental step before the NTT INDYCAR SERIES – at the helm of the No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara.

Roe Eager To Start Season at Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

Roe Eager To Start Season at Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

Roe Eager To Start Season at Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Wednesday, March 1, 2023) – After a productive final test day this week at the Homestead-Miami Speedway road course, Irish driver James Roe looks to carry his strong form into the first race of the INDY NXT™ by Firestone season, the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Sunday, March 5 on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Roe, who announced partnerships with Ring Power Corporation, CES Power, and Strong Roots in recent weeks, produced the third-quickest lap of the test day in his No. 29 Topcon Andretti Autosport Dallara.

“That obviously was a positive test heading into the season,” Roe said. “It was a very productive test. We got through a lot of the changes we wanted to try, and as a team, we were quite strong. Encouraged to be in the top three and up at the front throughout.”

Both team and driver found gains, as they worked to master the transition of tire compounds of the new tire supplier Firestone. Previously, the INDY NXT cars used Cooper tires.

“We’re happy with where it is as a team,” Roe said. “There’s a lot of understanding from the test; we tried a lot of stuff. That was really encouraging to have two cars inside the top 3. Now we’ll have to see how that translates to the streets of St. Petersburg.”

Roe recognizes the challenges of the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary circuit that winds through the asphalt streets of the Florida Gulf Coast city and includes a concrete runway of Albert Whitted Airport. There’s little room for error, with concrete walls lining the course. Roe is optimistic about his and the team’s chances given Andretti’s success at the circuit in recent years. The team won this race last season and one of the two races in 2021.

“We just want to get through the weekend, first and foremost, but ultimately show what we’re capable of and here for, fighting up front,” Roe said.

Strong Roots Partners with INDY NXT Driver James Roe to Drive 2023 Season Success in the US 

Top INDY NXT Driver partners with global plant-based food brand as he eyes spot in NTT INDYCAR SERIES

Dublin  — February 24, 2023 — Today, Strong Roots, the B Corp company on a mission to fix the freezer aisle, announced it is partnering with top Irish motorsport driver, James Roe for the 2023 INDY NXT™ by Firestone season. The twenty-four year old professional driver from Co. Kildare will helm the No. 29 car of Andretti Autosport for the 2023 INDY NXT feeder series with the Strong Roots logo on the rear area of his car side pod and on the upper sleeve of his driver fire suit. 

 

Strong Roots is a global plant-based brand providing options that are better for people and the planet. From their staple Cauliflower Hash Browns and Spinach Bites, to their newest Crispy Skinny Chips, Strong Roots serves up healthy, tasty, and convenient food to fuel busy lives. Strong Roots makes healthy, delicious food fast, making the brand an ideal partner for James Roe. 

 

Globally, men eat around 57% more meat than women, according to the US Department of Health. However, men are increasingly looking to plant-based options to fuel their busy lives and the 2023 Veganuary challenge saw 10% more men interested in participating than women. High profile athletes including Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady have long heralded the advantages of a plant-based lifestyle for strength and endurance and men across Ireland and the UK are now demanding fast plant-based options that are delicious, good for you, and good for the environment. 

 

“As a young professional athlete with a fast-paced lifestyle, James’ health and diet are critical to succeeding at his craft, he can’t afford to sacrifice on nutrition or convenience. So we’re thrilled to announce this partnership to fuel James as he ramps up to compete this weekend,” said Strong Roots’ CEO Samuel Dennigan. “James’ ambition for success on a global scale matches ours here at Strong Roots, making us natural partners.” 

 

Raised in an automotive family in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, James began racing when he was fifteen years old. Since landing in the United States in 2018, the Irish driver has gone from strength to strength, recording numerous wins, pole positions, and podium finishes in every series he has competed in to-date, while working his way to INDY NXT. The 2023 season will be Roe’s first full-time appearance in the INDY NXT by Firestone championship.

 

“I’m delighted to join forces with Sam and represent Strong Roots as their brand ambassador. Their ethos aligns perfectly with my own, and I look forward to working with their team this season” said James Roe. “Fast food has become synonymous with unhealthy and processed meals, but Strong Roots takes plant-based food to the next level, meaning I don’t have to sacrifice on nutrition, convenience or taste. Which is what every athlete needs as we push ourselves to the limit on a daily basis.”  

 

“As Strong Roots and James grow our roots in the States, the entire team is behind him this Race Weekend. It’s always great to see an Irish person succeed abroad, James is an amazing role model and I love how proud he is of his Irish roots. Knowing where you’re from will help you grow to where you want to be,” said Dennigan. 

 

The partnership comes amid a period of global expansion for Strong Roots as they continue to lead in plant-based frozen food innovation and the brand has seen very strong sales growth in the U.S. of 33.5% increase in sales YOY. The Strong Roots’ team has grown 48%, to 52 employees this year, after raising $55M in strategic investment from McCain Foods to fuel this growth. The company also recently debuted their new carbon footprint packaging, making it the first ever frozen plant-based brand to display climate footprint scores on the front of their packs.
