Reigning USF Pro 2000 champion Max Garcia will take his advancement prize from Andersen Promotions to Abel Motorsports where the 16-year-old Floridian is set to join its Indy NXT program.
Garcia joins fellow USF Pro 2000 champion Myles Rowe (2023) at Abel, and swept through the USF ladder program by winning back-to-back titles starting with USF2000 in 2024 and Pro 2000 last season, both with Rowe’s alma mater, Pabst Racing.
“I’m excited to join the team at Abel Motorsports and build upon the momentum they’ve generated coming out of a strong 2025 season,” Garcia said. “Competition in the Indy NXT series will be fierce, and I look forward to having an opportunity to rise to the occasion and contend with some of the best.”
Abel’s four-car lineup continues to built with the addition of Garcia.
“We are really excited to have Max joining us for the 2025 season.” Bill Abel said. “Although he is very young, his career and accomplishments are very impressive. He is a dedicated, hardworking and quality young man. For Abel Motorsports, to be able to secure the 2025 USF Pro 2000 Champion and the scholarship that comes with that is a big step for the team. It says a lot about where we are today and how competitive we have become in the Indy NXT championship.”
