When the complete points earned are calculated, Dempsey now leads Joel Miller by five points, 354 to 349. The best 11 of each driver’s 12 races count for the championship, however. With the one drop Dempsey is again on top, leading John Edwards by three points, 337 to 334. The championship will come down to the last race, as unofficially the current top seven still have a shot. That includes two other Andersen Racing drivers: Charles Hall and Tom Gladdis. m-o-r-e Andersen Racing’s Dempsey Wins Sunday/Page 2 of 6 To date Dempsey has won more races than any other driver in the series, as he’s been triumphant four times. Edwards has three victories. Andersen Racing’s Hall and Gladdis have one victory each, as does Miller. Andersen Racing, which was won six of the 10 races run so far this year, leads the team point standings by 77 points over JDC Motorsports, 318 to 241.

  • The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500
    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

  • JUAN PABLO MONTOYA World Famous Racing Driver
    JUAN PABLO MONTOYA World Famous Racing Driver Categorie Sports Type Leader & entrepeneur, Sporter & Sportcoach Inzetbaarheid Keynote speaker Talen EN, ES Afkomstig van Colombia Biografie Juan Pablo Montoya is a Colombian racing driver. He currently competes in the Verizon IndyCar Series driving for Team Penske. The highlights of his career include winning the International F3000 championship in 1998, and the CART FedEx Championship Series in 1999, as well as victories in some of the most prestigious races in the world, including the Indianapolis 500 (2000, 2015), Grand Prix of Monaco (2003), 24 Hours of Daytona (2007, 2008, 2013), British Grand Prix (2005), Italian Grand Prix (2001, 2005), Grand Prix of Long Beach (1999), and the Race of Champions (2017). In motorsport racing he has set an unmatched efficacy as a rookie driver by winning at the first attempt the premier North American open-wheel CART Championship title, Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Daytona, Grand Prix of Long Beach, Italian Grand Prix, and the cross over Race of Champions. Montoya is one of two drivers to 1 / 2 have won the CART title in his rookie year, the first being Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell in 1993. He is the only active driver who has won two legs of the Triple Crown of Motorsport in its original definition. Montoya has also become a crossover race winner by winning races (starting in each case in his rookie year) in Formula One, CART, IRL, IndyCar, Grand-Am and NASCAR equaling in that respect Mario Andretti's caliber of success (except for the F1 World Championship); and shares honors as well with Dan Gurney in being a race winner in IndyCar, F1 and NASCAR.
