Stylish and speedy, Myles Rowe makes his debut in INDY NXT by Firestone in the 2024 season as the 2023 USF Pro 2000 champion, rising one step closer to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Rowe joins HMD Motorsports w/ Force Indy, a pilot program of Penske Entertainment’s Race for Equality and Change.
And like many drivers, he began his passion for racing through karting. Following a successful karting debut, Rowe continued to add to his resume: Lucas Oil School Formula Racecar Winter Series champion and two successful seasons in USF2000 (2021-22).
In August 2021, Rowe became the first Black driver to win an INDYCAR-sanctioned race at New Jersey Motorsports Park in his first season in USF2000. That season, Rowe earned a season-high five victories and three poles, 10 podium finishes, 13 top-five finishes and ended up just six points shy of the championship.
Outside of the track, Rowe enjoys playing guitar, skateboarding, hiking, photography and keeping up with latest fashion trends. Rowe graduated in 2022 from Pace University Manhattan, majoring in film and screen studies, and is arguably the most fashion-forward INDY NXT driver on the 2024 grid.
