The History of the IndyCar Series

The roots of the IndyCar Series go back to the early days of American motorsport, when the American Automobile Association (AAA) began combining various races into a national championship in 1905. Its most important race to this day, the Indianapolis 500, was first run on May 30, 1911. The winner was engineer Ray Harroun in the Marmon Wasp, a car he helped design himself. Its factory-installed rearview mirror, a stopgap at the time to avoid needing a second occupant in the car, is considered one of the first uses of that invention in automotive history.

From 1956, the United States Auto Club (USAC) ran the national championship. In this era, A.J. Foyt set standards that still stand today: between 1960 and 1979, he won seven driver titles, a record that remains unmatched. His countryman Al Unser shares with him the record for ten race wins in a single season; Foyt did it in 1964, Unser in 1970.

In 1979, a group of team owners, frustrated with USAC’s leadership, founded Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) and took over running the series. The deepest rupture in the series’ history followed in 1996, when Speedway boss Tony George launched a second, rival championship with the Indy Racing League (IRL). For twelve years, known as “The Split,” North American open-wheel racing was divided into two parallel, financially weakened camps. It wasn’t until 2008 that the IRL and the Champ Car World Series, CART’s successor, merged to form today’s reunified IndyCar Series.

Fatal accidents such as Dan Wheldon’s in Las Vegas in 2011 and Justin Wilson’s in Pocono in 2015, struck by a loose piece of debris, accelerated the series’ safety development. That development reached its peak so far with the introduction of the uniform Dallara DW12 chassis in 2012 and the Aeroscreen cockpit protection in 2020. On track, this era was dominated above all by Scott Dixon for Chip Ganassi Racing, who with six championships remains the series’ all-time number two behind Foyt.

In the 2020s, Álex Palou emerged as the new dominant force: the Spaniard won four championships for Chip Ganassi Racing between 2021 and 2025, three of them in a row (2023 to 2025), and capped his best season yet in 2025 by winning the Indianapolis 500 in the same year as the title. He enters the 2026 season, the 30th season of the reunified IndyCar Series, as a four-time and reigning champion.
