The INDY NXT by Firestone's driver lineup for the upcoming season became clearer Thursday with Alexander Koreiba signing with Juncos Hollinger Racing to drive alongside Ricardo Escotto.
Missouri native Koreiba tested with the Indianapolis-based team during the annual Chris Griffis Memorial Test last fall on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
“This is a dream come true, and to do it with an organization of this caliber makes it even more meaningful," Koreiba said. "I feel incredibly grateful and honored to be joining Juncos Hollinger Racing for the 2026 INDY NXT season.
"I want to sincerely thank Ricardo Juncos, Brad Hollinger, and Dave O'Neill for their belief in me and for trusting me to pilot the No. 75 this season. I'm also deeply thankful to RF Health and all my partners who have helped make this program possible. I can't wait to get to work in St. Pete."
A Missouri native, Koreiba began karting at 14 before advancing through the Lucas Oil School of Racing and into professional prototype competition. Along the way, he has balanced driving with mentorship, coaching young drivers and working with racing enthusiasts across the country.
“Alexander brings a championship mindset and a relentless work ethic that aligns with our goals as an organization,” said Ricardo Juncos, co-owner of Juncos Hollinger Racing. “As we continue building toward becoming a consistent front-runner, adding drivers who are hungry, prepared and committed to the process is critical. We’re excited to see what he can accomplish in the No. 75 this season.”
Koreiba, 28, has spent the past few years in IMSA, capturing three wins in the HSR Prototype Challenge pro-am class, where the LMP3 entry won the five-race season championship. In his first IMSA season, in 2022, he paired with INDYCAR SERIES veteran Memo Gidley, winning a race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
The INDY NXT by Firestone season opens March 1 on the Streets of St. Petersburg.
