Kaminsky completes Abel's Indy NXT line-up

Colin Kaminsky is returning to the Indy NXT series with Abel Motorsports, where the Illinois native made eight starts for the team in 2023.

The 26-year-old spent a considerable amount of time on the USF Championship ladder, earning a best of fourth in USF2000 across three seasons from 2017-19 and placed eighth in his lone full season of USF Pro 2000 in 2020 before returning for a pair of partial seasons in 2021 and 2022.

"I am extremely thrilled to come back to the Indy NXT series in 2026,” Kaminsky said. “I have to thank Bill Abel and John Brunner for making this happen. They’re giving me the opportunity to reignite my open-wheel racing career, and it’s an opportunity that I’m looking forward to capitalizing on. I love driving the Dallara IL-15, and the tracks that Indy NXT races at so just really looking forward to being back in the mix.”

Kaminsky turned to IMSA’s Porsche Carrera Cup North America in 2024, and after sourcing the funding to give NXT a proper try, he’ll join Myles Rowe, Max Garcia, and Jordan Missig in Abel’s all-American line-up.

“We are thrilled to have Colin back at Abel Motorsports for the 2026 season,” Abel said. “He has shown great promise in his previous time in the Indy NXT car and we are looking for top of the chart results from Colin in 2026.”
