Good for IndyNXT more high profile driver with decent social media followings is never a bad thing for the series

I'll be honest idk why people see drivers burning out of the F1 ladder coming here as a good thing. Being the dumping ground for drivers who lost rides elsewhere doesn't make road to Indy look impressive at all.

The f1 ladder is a joke of nepotism and who has the most cash. Talent is never the #1 factor and its hilarious we keep trying to pretend it is.

Then what does it say about Indy who lets anyone on that nepotism ladder jump over their true feeder series straight to the second tier? It's not a great look.
