Caio Collett is a rookie in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and races for the legendary AJ Foyt Racing team. We caught up with him just prior to qualifying for the 2026 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where he filled us in on his background in European racing and how the different classes of cars compare to what he’s raced here in America (including the Indy NXT series). He’s been knocking on finishing in the top-ten with a 12th at Arlington and an 11th place finish at Mid-Ohio. Even better than that, he led nine laps at the Indianapolis 500 this year before ending his day due to contact with the wall. His stock really rose based on his performance there and his name has been often mentioned as a driver with future championship potential. Enjoy!

Caio Collett is serious about making his mark in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. His performance at Indy in qualifying and the race certainly proved that he’s a driver to watch.
It takes a dedicated team of professionals that work hard behind the scenes to make their driver successful. This post-qualification photo from the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 shows off part of that team that helped Collett make it to the Firestone Fast 12.
