Sting Ray Robb was born on September 3, 2001 in Idaho and first came into contact with karting at the age of five. By age eight, he was competing nationally in the Cadet class before working his way up through the Junior categories: in 2015, he crowned an exceptionally strong season with the title in the Rotax Junior Max National Championship and also won the Florida Winter Tour, the CanAm Championship, and the Challenge of the Americas, which earned him a reputation for a veritable kart Triple Crown. Additionally, he represented the USA at international races in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Second place at the Karts to Car Scholarship Shootout 2015 secured him a scholarship for the Skip Barber Race Series and paved the way for the switch to four wheels.
Starting in 2017, Robb gained his first experience in open-wheel racing in the Pro Mazda Championship, initially for World Speed Motorsports, a year later for Team Pelfrey. After mid-field finishes, he switched in 2019 to Juncos Racing in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship, where he drove himself into the top group with several podiums. 2020 marked the big breakthrough: with seven wins, five pole positions, and eleven podium finishes, he secured the championship title of the Indy Pro 2000 Championship and, as the only driver, completed all race laps of the season. The next step took him in 2021 initially with Juncos Racing, then in 2022 with Andretti Autosport into Indy Lights, where after a victory at Laguna Seca and eight additional podiums he finished runner-up behind Linus Lundqvist.
These successes paved the way for Robb into the NTT IndyCar Series in 2023, where he made his debut for Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing in the Chevrolet with the starting number 51 and finished the season in 23rd place in the overall standings. In 2024, he switched to A.J. Foyt Racing and piloted the Chevrolet with the number 41. Highlights of this season included 23 laps led at the 108th Indianapolis 500 and a career-best result of ninth place at the race on the World Wide Technology Raceway. Both stints showed that Robb is also competitive in the most fiercely contested field of American racing series and is continuously improving.
For the 2026 season, Sting Ray Robb returns to Juncos Hollinger Racing, the team with which he once won his Indy Pro 2000 title, and takes over the Chevrolet with the starting number 77 as full-time driver. The reunion with Ricardo Juncos, which already began in 2025, is intended to give Robb the necessary continuity to build on past successes and establish himself permanently in the front of the midfield of the IndyCar Series. After his experience at Dale Coyne Racing and A.J. Foyt Racing, he now brings several years of IndyCar experience, which should help him in 2026 to achieve more consistent results and establish himself as a reliable points scorer for Juncos Hollinger Racing.
