Gold stays with HMD Motorsports for 2024 Indy NXT

Reece Gold will return to HMD Motorsports for his second season of education in the Indy NXT by Firestone series.

The 19-year-old Floridian placed second in the 2022 Indy Pro 2000 by Cooper Tires championship with Juncos Hollinger Racing and graduated to NXT with the team, but left after two rounds to join HMD where he won on his second appearance for the championship-winning outfit.

On top of his win at Detroit, Gold delivered a pair of podiums on the IMS road course on the way to placing eighth in the NXT drivers’ standings.

“HMD Motorsports is an incredible program, and I feel very at home with the team,” Gold said. “I have a great support team around me, and they have helped me elevate my game to the next level. I look forward to the 2024 season and to being able to challenge for more podiums, race wins, and the Indy NXT championship.”

Gold becomes HMD’s second confirmed driver for 2024 following the signing of new Indy Pro 2000 champion Myles Rowe.

“Reece really came into his own as the season went on,” said HMD GM Mike Maurini. “I have known him from the early years of karting, and he is a young talent capable ofwinning at every level. We look forward to sharing success with Reece again in 2024.”
