Brewer revealed how talent isn&#8217;t the only thing that matters in motorsports, and that funding is required to nurture that talent.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay Brewer began racing at the age of 11 with her father buying her the first kart. However, no one from Brewer&#8217;s family had raced professionally and the American had to arrange the funding herself. This is when Brewer realized the finances of Motorsports.<\/p>\n<p>The American took a sabbatical from racing in her early 20s to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration from San Diego State University. When Lindsay Brewer returned to the world of motorsports, all those who she raced against had already progressed.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Brewer then built her online presence in hopes of attracting sponsors for her racing ventures and tests, and it paid off. However, explaining the expense of the tests in trying to catch up to the others, the 27-year-old said, (via New York Post),<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s always going to be an obstacle for drivers to get enough seat time and practice. It\u2019s one of those sports where you can\u2019t just pick up a basketball and play outside, it costs $25,000 a day to test the car.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Lindsay Brewer at &quot;A Holiday In The Vineyards&quot; Los Angeles Premiere - Source: Getty\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Lindsay Brewer at &quot;A Holiday In The Vineyards&quot; Los Angeles Premiere - Source: Getty\" src-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/04\/aecb1-17438602220370-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201536%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Lindsay Brewer at &#8220;A Holiday In The Vineyards&#8221; Los Angeles Premiere &#8211; Source: Getty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lindsay Brewer raced in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship after acquiring her business degree and was promoted to the Indy NXT series for the 2024 season.

Speaking about her transition from the Indy NXT series to the Sportscar championship, she said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is my first year doing sports cars, I didn\u2019t really have super crazy expectations. I just wanted to try \u2014 for me, my strength has always been a challenge in open wheel [vehicles] cause there\u2019s no power steering, so I felt my results didn\u2019t reflect who I was as a driver. I\u2019m like, \u2018I know I\u2019m a good driver, but I can barely turn the wheel, and it\u2019s really affecting me.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brewer started P33 on her debut but made her way through the race to finish P6.
