Indy NXT is the highest step on the [Road to Indy](/source/Road_to_Indy), a program of racing series leading up to the [IndyCar Series](/source/IndyCar_Series). A similar series named Indy Lights filled the developmental role for the [CART](/source/Champ_Car) series, and ran from 1986 to 1993 as the '''American Racing Series''' and '''Dayton Indy Lights''' from 1991 to 2001. The current IndyCar sanctioned series was founded in [2002](/source/2002_Infiniti_Pro_Series_season) as the '''Infiniti Pro Series''' as a way to introduce new talent to IndyCar, with the moniker Indy Lights returning in 2008 when CART and IndyCar unified. The Indy Lights champion was awarded a $1M scholarship toward the IndyCar Series, and guaranteed three races including the Indianapolis 500 during this time. For 2023, [Penske Entertainment](/source/Penske_Corporation) announced a rebranding to the name Indy NXT. ==Early origins== In the post-[WWII](/source/World_War_II) era, through the early 1960s, [American open-wheel racing](/source/American_open-wheel_racing) cars were almost exclusively front-engined "roadsters". The primary ladder series included [sprints](/source/Sprint_car_racing) and [midgets](/source/Midget_car_racing). By the end of the 1960s, the cars evolved into rear-engine [formula-style](/source/Formula_racing) machines. Likewise, the feeder series began to follow the same mold. When [United States Automobile Club](/source/United_States_Automobile_Club) (USAC) became the primary sanctioning body for top-level open-wheel racing, the ladder of progression began to change. ===USAC Mini Indy Series=== The [Sports Car Club of America](/source/Sports_Car_Club_of_America) (SCCA) [Super Vee](/source/Formula_Super_Vee) and [Formula Atlantic](/source/Atlantic_Championship_Series) series were among the first formula-based ladder series. However, neither had any direct tie to USAC. In 1977, USAC started the "Mini-Indy" series, using Super Vee machines. The series ended after 1980 when USAC stopped sanctioning Indy car races outside of the Indianapolis 500. Following the end of the "Mini Indy" series, the driver pool in the early 1980s for [CART](/source/Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams) and the Indy 500 was drawn in a somewhat unorganized fashion among Super Vees, Atlantics, former [Can-Am](/source/Can-Am) drivers, sprint cars, midgets, and even [stock cars](/source/Stock_car_racing) and [off-road racing](/source/off-road_racing). In addition, a number of CART series drivers during the 1980s and early 1990s were former [Formula 1](/source/Formula_1) competitors, most of whom had climbed the European-based ladder series. ==Original series (1986–2001)== [[Image:Indy Lights driver Mark Smith winning pole position Phoenix.jpg|thumb|right|[Mark Smith](/source/Mark_Smith_(American_racing_driver)) racing an Indy Lights car at [Phoenix International Raceway](/source/Phoenix_International_Raceway) in 1991.]] The original Indy Lights series was an open-wheeled racing series that acted as a developmental circuit for [CART](/source/Championship_Auto_Racing_Teams) from 1986 to 2001. It was founded in 1986 as the '''American Racing Series''' (ARS). CART became the sanctioning body for the series in 1988, and it was renamed as ''Indy Lights'' in 1991, with title sponsorship by [Firestone](/source/Firestone_Tire_and_Rubber_Company). Later, Firestone's subsidiary Dayton Tires took over as tire supplier and title sponsor. A [spec-series](/source/Spec_racing), CART Indy Lights used [March](/source/March_Engineering) chassis (essentially a modified [85B](/source/March_85B) [Formula 3000](/source/Formula_3000) chassis, renamed to Wildcat) from 1986 to 1992. In 1992 [Lola](/source/Lola_Racing_Cars) became the primary chassis constructor to the series, using a modified F3000 chassis. In 1997, a newly updated and modern-looking chassis was introduced based on an F3000 design. It would remain through 2001. [Buick V6 engines](/source/Buick_Indy_V6_engine) were used for its entire existence. The ARS/Indy Lights series' championship winners included two CART champions, two [IndyCar Series](/source/Indy_Racing_League) champions, seven [Champ Car World Series](/source/Champ_Car_World_Series) race-winners and two [Formula One](/source/Formula_One) drivers. The Indy Lights schedule closely followed that of the CART series, and typically had a gap of up to a month while the primary CART teams raced at the [Indy 500](/source/Indianapolis_500). The races were usually held the morning of the CART series races, as an [undercard](/source/undercard) event. In early years, the Indy Lights series skipped superspeedway races such as [Michigan](/source/Michigan_International_Speedway), but eventually found its way to race there. In some rare occasions, the Indy Lights ran at non-CART tracks, generally as a support race to a series other than CART. In 2001 Indy Lights ran at [Road Atlanta](/source/Road_Atlanta) the weekend of the [Petit Le Mans](/source/Petit_Le_Mans), and ran at [Kansas](/source/Kansas_Speedway) with the [IRL](/source/IndyCar).thumb|The Lola T97/20 was the specified chassis used from 1997 to 2001. It is pictured here at a vintage racing event in 2016. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, CART was suffering from financial problems. Meanwhile, in 1996, the rival [Indy Racing League](/source/Indy_Racing_League) was formed. CART canceled the minor league outright after the 2001 season. By this time, the [Toyota Atlantic](/source/Toyota_Atlantic) series was equally effective in providing CART with new drivers. In addition, the Atlantics served as a springboard for such drivers as [Greg Ray](/source/Greg_Ray), [Sam Hornish Jr.](/source/Sam_Hornish_Jr.) and [Richie Hearn](/source/Richie_Hearn) to enter the [IRL](/source/IndyCar_Series). The Atlantics effectively became CART's primary feeder system, and later became Champ Car World Series' official in-house feeder championship for a time. ==Current series (2002–present)== The Infiniti Pro Series was re-founded by the Indy Racing League and began racing in 2002, the year after the CART-sanctioned Indy Lights series' demise. It was a spec series using a [TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing)](/source/Tom_Walkinshaw_Racing) developed 3.5L version of the V8 engine used in the [Infiniti Q45](/source/Infiniti_Q45) combined with [Dallara](/source/Dallara) chassis producing {{convert|420|hp}}. The series initially struggled to attract drivers and some races have had fewer than 10 entrants. However, with the introduction of a number of road-course races to the schedule in [2005](/source/2005_in_IPS), many of America's top prospects like [Marco Andretti](/source/Marco_Andretti) and [Phil Giebler](/source/Phil_Giebler) were attracted to the series to run part-time schedules on road courses. In [2006](/source/2006_in_IPS), a boost in prize money even further increased car counts to 16 or more, with an even six oval and six road course mix. The selected races being double races, and a stand-alone race (independent of the IndyCar Series) were scheduled on the USGP weekend.thumb|Green flag for the 2008 Miami 100 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The series was called the ''Menards Infiniti Pro Series'' (MIPS) until 2006 when both [Menards](/source/Menards) and [Nissan](/source/Nissan) dropped their sponsorship of the series. It was then known as the ''Indy Pro Series''. On March 26, 2008, the series announced a changing of names, when the historical records and proprietary information of [Champ Car](/source/Champ_Car_World_Series) were acquired by the IRL. The series then became known as ''Firestone Indy Lights''. The centerpiece of the Indy Lights schedule was the [Freedom 100](/source/Freedom_100), contested at [Indianapolis Motor Speedway](/source/Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway) on the Friday prior to the [Indianapolis 500](/source/Indianapolis_500). The series also held a support race for the [U.S. Grand Prix](/source/United_States_Grand_Prix), the [Liberty Challenge](/source/Liberty_Challenge), from 2005 to 2007. It was the series' first event that was not a support race to an IndyCar event. On September 9, 2007, during the [Chicagoland 100](/source/2007_in_IPS), [Logan Gomez](/source/Logan_Gomez) beat [Alex Lloyd](/source/Alex_Lloyd_(racing_driver)) by 0.0005 seconds (approximately {{convert|1.65|in|mm}} at 188 mph) which reflects what was the closest recognized finish in the over century-long history of organized automobile racing throughout the world, until the [2018 PowerShares QQQ 300](/source/2018_PowerShares_QQQ_300).{{cite news| url =http://www.indycar.com/news/story.php?story_id=9929| title =To the fourth degree| publisher =IndyCar.com| date =2007-09-13| access-date =2007-09-14}}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} In 2008, the margin was established by the ''[Guinness Book of World Records](/source/Guinness_Book_of_World_Records)'' as the closest finish ever in a car race.{{cite news| url =http://www.indycar.com/news/story.php?story_id=9929| title =Closest finish recognized as world record| publisher =IndyCar.com| date =2008-03-04| access-date =2008-03-04}}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} On May 24, 2013, Peter Dempsey captured his first Indy Lights win in the [Freedom 100](/source/Freedom_100) in the closest finish in Indianapolis Motor Speedway history (0.0026 secs) in a four-wide finish.Marot, Michael.
