Jordan Missig will step away from the No. 48 for ABEL Motorsports for the remainder of the 2026 season

From the personal update from Jordan (second image), sounds like the Nashville wreck might have tubbed the chassis, which has drained the rest of his budget. this is exactly why we don't have the Freedom 100 anymore

>As many of you have seen, I was involved in a major crash that was out of my control at Nashville Superspeedway that took me out of the race and caused extensive damage to #48 Abel Motorsports car. Due to the severity of the damage and the cost of repairs, I unfortunately have to announce that my 2026 INDY NXT by Firestone season has come to an end. I'm absolutely gutted for my team at Abel Motorsports, my family, and my sponsors that our season must end four races early.
I want to take a moment to thank Bill Abel and John Brunner for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to drive an INDY NXT car. Being part of this series and living out a dream has meant everything to me. Ten-year-old me would have been beaming from ear to ear knowing that knowing that I would one day be competing in the very series I grew up watching from the stands.
To everyone on the 48 car – Doug, Matt, Robbie, and Mike – thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into my car every single week. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to go to battle with on every INDYCAR weekend. Your hard work and dedication never went unnoticed, and I'm grateful for everything you've done. This may be the end of my 2026 season but trust me-this isn't the end of my story.
We'll be back. Better, faster, and stronger than ever.
