Andretti completes Indy NXT roster with F2 veteran Hauger

Dennis Hauger’s next move in open-wheel racing will take place in America with Andretti Global in the Indy NXT series. The 21-year-old Norwegian comes to Andretti after winning the 2021 FIA Formula 3 championship and placing inside the top 10 in Formula 2 in 2022 and '23; he’s currently ninth in the standings with four races left to run.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity to race with Andretti Global,” Hauger said. “I'm looking forward to starting things up with the team and getting to know everyone. We’re already getting down to work before the season starts with testing, and I’m excited to go out there in an Indy NXT car and get that experience. I can’t wait for the 2025 season -- I hope it’s a great one.”

Hauger joins the previously announced Lochie Hughes, Salvador de Alba, and James Roe at Andretti.

“Dennis is a driver who has been on our radar for some time, and we’re excited to see him make the jump into American open-wheel racing,” said team president J-F Thormann. “He’s no stranger to performing in highly competitive development series, so I can’t think of a better next step for him than to join the Indy NXT grid. We think he’s going to be the perfect addition to round out our 2025 Indy NXT driver lineup, and we’re proud to be a part of his Indy NXT debut.”
