Currently competing full-time in the USF Pro 2000 Championship, Escotto will be piloting the No. 75 entry for five races in the 2024 INDY NXT season: Detroit (June 2), Laguna Seca doubleheader (June 22 and 23), Milwaukee (August 31), and the series finale in Nashville (September 15).
“We’ve had our eye on Ricardo as he’s risen through the ranks, and are very excited for him to make the step up to INDY NXT with Juncos Hollinger Racing,” says Ricardo Juncos, Co-Owner and Founder of JHR.
Brad Hollinger, Co-Owner of JHR, adds, “Ricardo is just another example of how we’re investing into the future of this team, bringing on the best talent that will help the team grow in years to come.”

He joins full-time driver of the No. 76 entry of Juncos Hollinger Racing, Lindsay Brewer, who is the first American female to compete in the series full-time in over a decade.
