Born in Southport, IN, October 1949, Miller first visited Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1957 and attended his first 500 in ’59. There his imagination was captured by the overwhelming magnitude of the event, and in particular the heroics of Jim Hurtubise. Nine years later, having dropped out of Ball State, he had joined the team

In the world of sport, what you wear is just as important as how you wear it – and a race suit is no different. It must protect the driver from danger, feel comfortable to wear, and provide the right mobility behind the wheel of a hugely fast racing car. In having developed racewear for

Both Scott Dixon and Alex Palou were sent into the wall during a Lap 65 restart in Saturday’s final oval race of the IndyCar season at Gateway’s WorldWide Technology Raceway. Their Chip Ganassi Racing-Hondas were tagged by Rinus VeeKay’s Ed Carpenter-Chevrolet, and the subsequent crash eliminated Palou and VeeKay on the spot. Dixon limped his

The pair came together during Saturday’s race at when Pagenaud was clipped by the eventual race winner on the lap 16 restart. Pagenaud lost a chunk of his front wing and was left to recover from the back of the field to finish eighth, while Newgarden held off Pato O’Ward to take his second win

Although he finished only 14th, partly due to the unfortunate timing of a yellow flag and a strategy switch, Grosjean kept the #51 Dale Coyne Racing car off the SAFER barriers at the 1.25-mile World Wide Technology Raceway. This was despite a couple of moments where he drifted into the marbles and lost speed as

Pouncing on misfortune for long-time leader Colton Herta, who suffered a mechanical issue while leading with relative comfort, Newgarden assumed the lead of the race. The Tennessee native had previously taken the lead during the pit phase amid the third caution period, produced by Ed Carpenter’s shunt, after leapfrogging Penske team-mate Will Power and Herta

Hot on the heels of his first victory in 2021 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course last time out, 2014 IndyCar champion Power denied Andretti Autosport driver Herta by less than 0.1mph to nail the 63rd open wheel pole position of his career. The third driver to go out, Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet’s Felix Rosenqvist,

For most of the session, Newgarden led with a 177.562mph lap but as two-lap qualifying simulations got underway, McLaughlin edged ahead with a 177.669mph effort. Then Newgarden delivered a 178.600 mph, just 25.1959sec around the 1.25-mile WWT Raceway, before going still faster with a 178.774mph. With this 90-minute session being the only practice before qualifying

The Dane, a veteran of 119 grands prix, will make his Le Mans 24 Hours debut this weekend when he races in LMP2 alongside his dad, Jan, in an ORECA-Gibson 07 from Danish entrant High Class Racing. The 28-year-old has also already committed to a World Endurance Championship campaign next year with Peugeot. With the

Hy-Vee, a grocery chain with sponsorship links to Rahal Letterman Lanigan, has announced a new multi-year agreement that returns the banked, rough and challenging D-shaped oval to the calendar. Iowa Speedway, which has held 15 IndyCar races since it opened in 2006, will host the Hy-VeeDeals.com 250 on Saturday, 23 July, while the Hy-Vee Salute

The climbing number of COVID-19 cases in both Oregon and California, and the states’ anticipated reaction to that, caused many in the IndyCar paddock to wonder if the races at Portland International Raceway (12 September), Laguna Seca (19 September) and the streets of Long Beach (26 September) might again come under threat. All three venues

For the second straight race, Penske’s two-time champion Newgarden will suffer a grid penalty, this time for running his fifth engine of the season. In the streets of his home city of Nashville, Newgarden crashed in the dying moments of the second stage of qualifying, which automatically incurs a loss of fastest lap for disrupting

Albon, who scored two F1 podium finishes for Red Bull Racing last year before being replaced by Sergio Perez, is currently in DTM. He made a name for himself in the junior formulae, where he finished second only to current Ferrari ace Charles Leclerc in GP3, while in Formula 2 he was third in the

The 20-year-old Dane caused a huge stir in qualifying on Friday when he finished fourth, on a day when the top five was covered by just 0.05s. After being passed by Colton Herta on the opening lap, Lundgaard ran fifth, briefly assumed the lead as the first round of pitstops started, ran 10th in the

Rahal Letterman Lanigan-Honda’s one-off hire was a strong factor in the hour-long practice session, and appeared completely unfazed by exploring the extra grip provided by the softer-compound Firestone ‘red’ tires. The Formula 2 race-winner breezed through his Q1 Group 2 session, beaten only by Alexander Rossi, and in the Fast 12 qualifying shootout for pole

O’Ward claimed his third pole of the season in an incredibly tight session, lapping just 0.006 seconds faster than Team Penske driver Will Power. Although O’Ward slipped to third in the standings following last weekend’s Nashville race, where he finished a lowly 13th, the Mexican remains only 48 points behind series leader Alex Palou (Chip

Team Penske driver Power, having opened the race on the hard tyre, was able to clear polesitter Pato O’Ward following the opening pit phase. With O’Ward then taking on the hard tyre, he posed little threat to the soft-shod Power, who opened up a seemingly unassailable lead over Colton Herta – the Andretti Autosport driver having

Palou, who had qualified sixth, was compromised with an engine mapping issue from the drop of the green flag, but had picked his way forward once the team allowed him to use three of his engine map settings. He had just eased his way past one of his prime title rivals, Arrow McLaren SP’s Pato O’Ward

Power narrowly missed out on pole, before starting his Team Penske machine on the harder Firestone rubber in the race and staying within 3.5 seconds of the alternate-tyred polesitter Pato O’Ward. After O’Ward switched to the harder rubber and Power to the softer compound, the Penske driver swiftly closed in and snatched the lead at

Arrow McLaren SP driver O’Ward, who enters the weekend third in the standings, pipped Team Penske driver Will Power by just 0.006s in a remarkably tight Firestone Fast 12 session. The polesitter in IndyCar’s last visit to the track in May, Romain Grosjean took third for Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware as Rahal Letterman

May’s GP of Indy winner Rinus VeeKay of Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevrolet was the first driver to duck into the 71sec bracket, with a 1min11.8641sec effort on his fourth lap, with Jack Harvey of Meyer Shank Racing-Honda – traditionally fast around here – his nearest competitor, 0.155sec behind. With 20mins to go, Lundgaard, Formula 2 race winner, jumped

The outfit, which won this year’s Indianapolis 500 with Helio Castroneves, announced three weeks ago that the Brazilian veteran will race the #06 entry full-time in 2022. At the same time, it was revealed that the team’s current full-timer, Jack Harvey, would be leaving, a decision taken of his own volition. With team owners Jim

Reigning Formula E champion da Costa has enjoyed significant success in single-seaters, and is one of only three drivers to win the Macau Grand Prix for Formula 3 cars on two occasions – in 2012 and 2016. The 29-year-old Portuguese, who combines his Formula E duties with a full-season World Endurance Championship programme in LMP2

The 20-year-old will appear in a third Rahal Letterman Lanigan entry at the Indianapolis road course, having impressed team co-owner Bobby Rahal in a test at Barber Motorsports Park. He becomes the second Danish driver to appear in the series this year, after ex-Formula 1 driver Kevin Magnussen made his debut in place of Felix

As at Mid-Ohio, there is a separate start line and finish line around Nashville’s 2.17-mile course. While the finish line is after Turn 11, right outside the Nissan Stadium, the Tennessee Titans NFL team’s ground, the green flag will be waved ahead of Turn 9 as the 27-car grid returns off the Korean War Veterans

The bumpy, tight street circuit forced a surfeit of errors and multiple caution periods, with very little in the way of green-flag running in the race’s first half – and by the end had been red-flagged twice. Polesitter Colton Herta led the opening 30 laps of the race and was able to break-build between caution

Ericsson ran into the back of Sebastien Bourdais’ AJ Foyt Racing car on a restart and launched high into the air, crashing down with a broken front wing which then got caught under his front wheels, causing him to tag the wall at Turn 6 and sustain further suspension damage as he limped back to

The Indiana native enjoyed a motorsport broadcasting career that spanned five decades, including a stint as the chief announcer for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network between 1990 and 1998. He was renowned for his work with ESPN and ABC and, after attending his first Indy 500 in 1960, only missed the race twice –

Dixon finished runner-up in a chaotic maiden event around the streets near the Tennessee Titans’ NFL stadium. He believes that the tricky nature of the circuit – which included two flat-out blasts across a bridge over the Cumberland River as well as some tight and sinuous corners – provoked the high number of accidents and two race

The Andretti Autosport driver led both practice sessions, and progressed to the Fast Six shootout having saved a fresh set of red-walled soft compound tyres that enabled him to land his sixth pole position by over half a second. Come the race, despite a couple of the nine cautions working against his strategy, he was
