A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. LEXINGTON, Ohio, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) (' or 'the Company'), a leading technology company transforming the intersection of gaming, sports and entertainment, today announced that the and driver trio returns to action this weekend for Round Nine of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone Championships at one of the sport's most historic and technical venues: the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Set in the rolling hills of Ohio, the 13-turn, 2.258-mile permanent road course is known for its flowing layout, blind corners, and punishing precision. Mid-Ohio has long been a proving ground for future champions, and with five races in July, this event marks the beginning of a pivotal stretch for both title contenders and rookies alike. Louis FosterCar No. 45 – Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (INDYCAR)Sponsored by: After claiming his first career pole position at Road America, Louis Foster heads into RLL's home race at Mid-Ohio with renewed confidence and focus. The British rookie has impressed with his speed throughout the season, boasting an average starting position of 12.89 across nine races. 'I'm really proud to represent RLL at such an important race for the team,' . 'I won here in Indy NXT in 2023, so it's a track with good memories for me. There's nowhere to hide at Mid-Ohio, especially in this level of competition. But if we keep qualifying like we have, and execute races cleanly, there's no reason we can't come away with a big result.' Currently just two points off the lead in the Rookie of the Year standings, Foster sees the intense July schedule as a chance to build momentum and consistency. 'Of course, while the qualifying results have been good, the races have been a challenge. There's so much to get right in INDYCAR. But we've been working hard with the team and engineers, and now we're into a rapid-fire run of races. It's time to build something.' Callum IlottCar No. XX – PREMA Racing (INDYCAR)Sponsored by: Callum Ilott returns to Mid-Ohio looking to carry forward the gains made at Road America, where he secured his best result of the season with P15. The track is a known battleground, famous for its technical challenge, and will feature 90 laps this year—10 more than in 2024. This marks PREMA Racing's first visit to Mid-Ohio with the new INDYCAR hybrid power unit, placing extra emphasis on the weekend's two practice sessions to gather crucial data. 'Mid-Ohio is a real driver's track—lots of flow, elevation, and little room for error. The team's still building experience with the hybrid package, so Friday and Saturday are key to getting up to speed,' . 'Last year the race could be won from anywhere, so it's about keeping options open and nailing the strategy.' PREMA made adjustments to its approach following winter changes to Turn Four and the Esses section, and Ilott aims to improve on his personal best result at this circuit. 'Road America showed we're moving in the right direction. I'm excited to see what we can unlock here with the right setup and clean stints.' Sebastian MurrayCar No. 2 – Andretti Global (INDY NXT)Sponsored by: Seb Murray will make his Mid-Ohio debut this weekend with Andretti Cape, coming off the back of a strong Road America performance where he surged from P14 to P11 and was named Jostens' Biggest Mover. That race marked his best road course finish in Indy NXT so far. The 2.258-mile circuit will provide another test for the Scottish rookie, with high-speed sections, elevation changes, tight technical corners and a narrow racing ribbon demanding full focus. As the Indy NXT field tightens heading into a busy July calendar, Murray's recent form positions him as one to watch in this next phase of the championship.

Lottery.com and Sports.com Drivers Shine at Road America
ELKHART LAKE, Wis., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On one of the most technically demanding and tactically complex weekends of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone seasons, Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRY, LTRYW) and drivers impressed fans and analysts alike with strong performances at Road America—a legendary 6.51-km road course nestled in the woodlands of Wisconsin. Famed as America's National Park of Speed, Road America's long straights, fast corners, and razor-thin margins for error made for thrilling racing across both IndyCar and Indy NXT, with multiple cautions and tire strategies shaping the outcome of a hot and hard-fought weekend. A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link. Louis FosterCar No. 45 – Rahal Letterman Lanigan (IndyCar)Pole Position | Finished: P11 | Sponsored by: IndyCar rookie Louis Foster stunned the paddock by taking a breakthrough pole position, besting three-time champion and Indy 500 winner Alex Palou despite being on used tires during the Fast Six shootout. It marked one of the most remarkable qualifying performances of the season. 'Yeah, still a little bit in shock,' . 'The team have been working their asses off—two rebuilds in two weeks after setbacks in Detroit and St. Louis. Massive props to the No. 45 Droplight / Desnuda crew. They needed this.' On race day, Foster maintained the lead and top-five position through the opening stages. However, a flurry of cautions and tire strategy reshuffles limited his use of the faster soft tires, ultimately resulting in a P11 finish—his best race result of the year so far. 'We turned what could've been an average result into a decent one. We'll regroup and come back even stronger at Mid-Ohio,' Callum IlottCar No. 90 – PREMA Racing (IndyCar)Started: P9 | Finished: P15 | Best Finish of 2025 | Sponsored by: Rounding out the team's strong showing, Callum Ilott brought home his best result of the 2025 season with a P15 finish for PREMA Racing. Starting on soft tires, Ilott hovered near the top 10 early on, making up ground through efficient pit work during multiple cautions in the opening phase of the 55-lap race. With varying tire strategies playing out across the field and five caution periods reshaping the order, Ilott stayed composed and executed a strong final stint on fresh soft tires. He picked off multiple competitors late in the race and crossed the line just behind former series champion Will Power. 'Overall it was a very tough race and super hot out there. The team did a great job, but the car was on edge in places it didn't need to be. We fought hard, and there was more in it if we had a bit more push-to-pass at the end. Still, we come away with points and a decent weekend overall,' Sebastian MurrayCar No. 2 – Dream Racing Dubai Dallara (Indy NXT)Started: P14 | Finished: P11 | Championship Standing: P9 (128 points)Sponsored by: INDY NXT rookie Seb Murray also delivered a career-best performance on a road course, surging from P14 to P11 to claim Jostens' Biggest Mover of the day. In just his first outing at Road America, Murray's sharp overtakes and consistent pace saw him break into the top ten battle, further strengthening his championship position. 'It was a hot day here at Road America, but overall, a really solid result. We were the Biggest Mover today which feels great,' . 'Looking forward to Mid-Ohio and building on this momentum.''We're incredibly proud of the association between and these three young, talented drivers—Sebastian, Callum, and Louis. From the outset, our selection process was both precise and strategic. These aren't just partnerships; they're long-term investments in future champions. 'The brand exposure we've seen over the last four race weekends has been exceptional, and the influx of interest from other IndyCar teams and global motorsport series has increased tenfold. It's validation that we're on the right track—both figuratively and literally. 'We're now actively developing a full driver and team development and sponsorship program for 2026, and I'm proud to say that Seb, Callum, and Louis are the cornerstones of that next chapter. and are young, ambitious, and built to scale—just like the drivers we support.
