INVST joins Rising Star Racing to Partner with Michael d’Orlando for the Remaining Two INDY NXT by Firestone Races in 2025

Indianapolis, Indiana (Thursday August 21st, 2025) – Rising Star Racing and INVST are proud to

announce it will partner with American INDY NXT by Firestone racing talent Michael d’Orlando for the

two remaining 2025 Indy NXT by Firestone races. As part of the agreement, d ’Orlando’s car will

feature a livery promoting Rising Star Racing and INVST. Michael will compete this weekend at the

INDY NXT by Firestone at the Milwaukee Mile before completing the season in Tennessee at the

Nashville Superspeedway the following week.

Rising Star Racing and INVST are committed to supporting home-grown racing stars of the future.

d’Orlando logged seven races in 2024 before being sidelined by lack of funding, so this partnership

provides significant backing to the exceptionally talented INDY NXT by Firestone driver. d’Orlando will

be racing with the Andretti Cape INDY NXT team - formed via a technical partnership between the

multi-time INDY NXT by Firestone championship team Andretti Global and Cape Motorsports.

The young Charlotte-based racer made his 2025 debut August 8-10 at the BITNILE.COM Grand Prix of

Portland in Portland, Oregon placing a solid 7th after a practice session accident set him back in

qualifying. Michael gained nine places and was awarded the Josten’s Biggest Mover Award.

“RSR is very excited to support Michael for the remainder of the 2025 season and equally as excited

to have INVST jumping on board,” said RSR CEO Art Wilmes. “RSR continues to support Michael and

his brother Nick.”

"At Invst, we’re built on the belief that living with an abundance mindset means always seeking out

new opportunities, adapting to change, and helping others reach their bigger future,” said Scott

Jarred, Founder & CEO, Invst.

“Our partnership with Michael d’Orlando and American INDY NXT by Firestone is about more than sponsorship, it’s about coming alongside a team that shares our values of resilience, growth, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Just as we guide our clients to create lasting impact and legacy through smart strategy and teamwork, we see in Michael’s journey the same drive to evolve, overcome obstacles, and seize every opportunity. Supporting his path reflects our commitment to helping others live the lives they want on and off the track. Together, we’re building momentum for the future, one lap and one life at a

time.”

The INDY NXT by Firestone at the Milwaukee Mile will commence this weekend, August 22 - 23, 2025.
