Evagoras Papasavvas (born December 25, 2007) is an American racing driver who last competed in the 2025 Indy NXT driving for HMD Motorsports. He previously competed in the 2024 USF2000 Championship driving for Jay Howard Driver Development.[1] [2]
On November 30, 2021, it was announced that Papasavvas would make his debut in single seaters in the 2022 U.S. F2000 National Championship driving for Jay Howard Driver Development.[3] Due to an injury sustained racing karts, he had to miss the first half of the season. Papasavvas would make his debut at the ninth round held at Road America, but would retire during the race. He would finish 23rd in the standings.
In late 2022, it was announced that Papasavvas would race in the 2023 USF2000 Championship once again with Jay Howard Driver Development. He would receive his maiden podium in the series at the first race held at St. Petersburg.
At Mid-Ohio, Papasavvas would qualify on pole by over two tenths of a second over championship leader Simon Sikes.[4] However, since he missed the checkered flag and completed an extra lap before returning to the pit lane, he would receive a two-place grid penalty which resulted in a third place starting spot behind Sikes and Ethan Ho. Papasavvas managed to pass Ho into the first corner and got the lead from Sikes at turn four on lap one. On the last lap of the race, Sikes fought with Papasavvas for the lead out of turn four, however Sikes went wide into turn five which allowed Papasavvas to retake the lead into turn six. Papasavvas would hold on to grab his first win in the championship at his hometown track.[5]
Papasavvas originally signed a deal with TJ Speed Motorsports to drive full-time in the 2025 USF Pro 2000 Championship, however, he instead backed out of the ride for a different opportunity.[6] On February 24, 2025, it was announced that Papasavvas would join the 2025 Indy NXT driving the No. 18 for HMD Motorsports for a partial season.[7] Papasavvas' debut would come earlier than expected, with the American filling the vacant No. 24 car for the second race at Barber following Sophia Flörsch's exit from the ride.[8] He would have an impressive debut in the series, qualifying in third and finishing second behind race winner Dennis Hauger.[9]
