“Juan Manuel Correa returns to the INDY NXT grid with Cusick Morgan Motorsports in 2026.”
October 24, 2025 — Cusick Morgan Motorsports is honored to announce Juan Manuel Correa as one of the drivers for the team’s INDY NXT by Firestone two-car program in 2026. A podium finisher in 2025 with extensive European single-seater experience, Correa brings proven pace, technical insight, and maturity to the Cusick Morgan Motorsports effort.
“Last season fueled my desire to become a top competitor in the INDY NXT by Firestone series and ultimately make the climb to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES,” said Juan Manuel Correa. “Joining a team new to the series is an exciting challenge, giving me the chance to contribute my feedback and help build something we can all be proud of. Their technical alliance with HMD Motorsports, where I raced last year, gives me confidence that we can compete at the front, fight for wins, and be a real force on the grid.”
“Juan Manuel brings experience, resilience, and undeniable confidence in the INDY NXT car, making him a standout addition to our program,” said Don Cusick, Team Owner, Cusick Morgan Motorsports. “We are committed to giving him every tool necessary to succeed and are excited to see him push the team forward as we make our series debut.”
“I cannot wait to get to work with Juan Manuel both on and off the track,” added Billy Morgan, Co-Owner, Cusick Morgan Motorsports. “We’ve had fantastic conversations leading to this moment, and I’m extremely proud to have him in our seat for our inaugural season.”
Correa made several INDY NXT by Firestone starts with HMD Motorsports in 2025, quickly establishing himself with a podium at the Detroit Grand Prix in just his second race weekend. His rapid adaptation to INDY NXT—combined with experience across FIA Formula 3, Formula 2, and IMSA—positions him to provide instant competitive feedback and help shape Cusick Morgan Motorsports’ performance from day one. Correa is also widely respected for his resilience, having overcome a life-threatening crash in 2019 to return to elite-level racing.
