HMD Motorsports has appointed RaceCraft Hospitality as its official trackside hospitality partner for the entire 2027 INDY NXT by Firestone season.
Under the agreement announced on 29 October, RaceCraft will provide food service and hospitality for HMD personnel, drivers, guests and commercial partners at every race weekend on the 2027 calendar. The full-season scope makes the appointment an operating partnership rather than a single-event catering activation.
RaceCraft Hospitality was developed by Layer Zero Integration and is led by founders Matthew Pickering and Gregory Osborn. HMD said the Medina, Ohio-based business will support the team's trackside programme with a service designed for motorsport paddock requirements. The announcement did not disclose financial terms, staffing levels or a contract beyond the 2027 season.
For HMD, a dedicated hospitality supplier creates a consistent service point across a travelling championship programme. That has a direct operational role for team personnel and also supports how the organisation hosts sponsors and guests at INDY NXT events. MRI has not assigned performance, revenue or partner-retention outcomes to the agreement because the parties did not publish those measures.
The appointment adds RaceCraft to HMD's 2027 support network while leaving the team's sporting structure and driver programme unchanged. It should not be read as an entry, ownership or technical-supply announcement. The verified scope is the provision of trackside food service and hospitality throughout the season.
