Lindsay Marie Brewer (born April 17, 1997) is an American model and racing driver.[1][2] She will compete full time in Indy NXT for Juncos Hollinger Racing, formerly known as Indy Lights, the highest tier in the IndyCar ladder series.[3]

Early life and education

Brewer was born in Arvada, Colorado. When she was 11 years old, she raced a go-kart at a friend's birthday party and became interested in the sport.[4] From 2009 until 2014, Brewer competed in a variety of karting championships across the United States.[5]

Racing career

Saleen S1 Cup

After a four year hiatus for college, in 2019, Brewer competed in the Las Vegas Saleen Cup GT Series for the season finale.[6]

W Series

Ahead of the 2022 W Series season, Brewer was selected to test for a drive in the series. The test took place at Inde Motorsports Park in Arizona where she placed top three lap times in her group and was selected as the top 12 drivers.[7]

USF Pro 2000

Brewer eventually elected to join the Indypro 2000 series as a rookie for 2022 season with Exclusive Autosport, as she wanted to compete in Open Wheel and in the coed series rather than in an all female series.[8] Brewer first raced in the series at Indianapolis, scoring an 8th place finish in her first race. At Road America, Brewer was involved in an incident where her car was launched into the air by a kerb at turn 5, an identical incident happening on the same weekend for Christian Bogle in the Indy Lights series.[9][10] Brewer finished the 2022 season in 15th place with 98 points and a best finish of 8th at Indianapolis.[11] In October, Brewer confirmed she would return to race for Exclusive Autosport in the 2023 season, the inaugural year of its new title USF Pro 2000.[12] Brewer finished the season in 18th place, finishing no race higher than 11th all season.[13]

Indy NXT

Brewer stepped up to Indy NXT full-time in 2024, competing for Juncos Hollinger Racing in the No. 76 after mediocre results in the USF Pro Series.[3]

Personal life

Brewer resides in Newport Beach, California.[14] In addition to racing, Brewer is a model with representation from her general manager Chris Young. She has dated her boyfriend Drew Solomon since meeting in college at San Diego State University.[15]
