PREMA Racing is set to join the NTT IndyCar Series for the 2025 season, but they haven’t announced any drivers yet. Alexander Rossi was one name linked to PREMA Racing as he leaves Arrow McLaren, but he said no contact has occurred. However, the new IndyCar Series organization has been talking to a popular driver in one of the world’s top racing series.
According to Motorsport.com, PREMA Racing team principal Rene Rosin has confirmed that he has talked to Formula 1 driver Logan Sargeant about joining the team in the IndyCar Series next season. Sargeant currently drives for Williams in Formula 1, but his seat has been linked to several drivers. The 23-year-old driver is the only American in Formula 1.
Sargeant has experience with PREMA Racing after driving for the organization in Formula 3 in Europe during the 2020 season. The former PREMA Racing driver finished third in the point standings. Sargeant may not have a home in Formula 1 for the 2025 season, but a move to PREMA Racing would be great for everyone involved.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.
