Josh Pierson

From an early age, Josh Pierson’s passion for driving and determination to improve have only grown stronger. Professional, disciplined, and goal-oriented, Josh is focused on fulfilling his lifelong dream of racing full-time in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and one day winning the Indy 500. At 16, Pierson became the youngest winner in FIA World Endurance Championship history after claiming victory at the 1000 Miles of Sebring with teammates Olive Jarvis and Paul di Resta. That same year, he became the youngest driver ever to compete in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 6th in his class and 10th overall with co-drivers Oliver Jarvis and Alex Lynn. In 2023, the 17-year-old raced in his second 24 Hours of Le Mans with Oliver Jarvis and Tom Blomqvist. That year he raced with three premier programs: full-time with United Autosports in the World Endurance Championship, full-time with TDS Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and part-time with HMD Motorsports in INDY NXT by Firestone Series. For the past two seasons, Josh has focused on open-wheel racing in North America, racing full-time for HMD Motorsports. Currently, Josh races for Andretti Global in the INDY NXT by Firestone Series. Known for his professionalism, focus, and technical communication, Pierson complements his racing with year-round training by logging hours in the gym, honing reflexes and coordination, and sharpening his race craft through karting and advanced simulator work. On and off the track, his focus is constant improvement, one lap at a time.

He is way ahead of any driver under 16 that we’ve ever seen and already up there with the best in the world under 20.” “Josh is a talented young driver with a big future ahead of him. His love of motorsports, determination and coachability are strengths that set him apart from his competition.” “Josh has performed brilliantly.

I can’t wait to see his progress throughout the year in the FIA WEC.” “As a team, we have evaluated some of the best and brightest drivers in North American Auto racing over the last 22 years of our team’s existence. I personally look forward to seeing (Josh’s) continuation up the motorsports ladder, given the opportunity I believe Josh will become one of America’s next generation of professional drivers.” 2019 Rotax Stars & Stripes, JuniorMAX Champion.
