To the big teams go the spoils… or something like that. Close and competitive racing has been a common theme in the IndyCar Series, but the end-of-year results always seem to favour the usual suspects.
Chip Ganassi Racing wrapped up its seventh title over the last 12 years in North America’s premier open-wheel championship, with Team Penske having captured it the other five times over that span. The last time a team other than those two dominant forces won the championship was in 2012 when Andretti Global (then known as Andretti Autosport) won all with Ryan Hunter-Reay at the helm.
