Jacob Abel went flag-to-flag from pole to score his first-ever win in Indy NXT at Barber Motorsports Park.

A 23-year-old Kentucky native, Abel fended off the challenges of Nolan Siegel and managed all 35 laps around the 2.3-mile, 17-turn natural terrain road course, which ended under caution. The win comes in Abel’s 30th Indy NXT start after finishing second on three other occasions. Behind Abel and Siegel in third was James Roe, with rookie Caio Collet and Louis Foster finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

While the rest of the field remained unchanged, the fight was on at the front as Siegel applied the pressure on Abel, staying in his tire tracks until lap 10 when he made a failed attempt at an over-under move that was fended off successfully by Abel. Foster continued his climb, elevating to seventh by lap 11 and slowly gaining on team-mate Jamie Chadwick. Abel settled into the lead and held roughly an advantage of 0.8s for the next 6 laps, which widened to 1s over the next three laps.
