![]() ![]() Results current through the 2022 Ind圜ar Series season.Non-points races such as the Race of Two Worlds, Marlboro Challenge, and the 2008 Nikon Indy 300 are not reflected in the totals below. In 2010, the series retired the term "IRL" in favor of "Ind圜ar." After two controversial races in early 1997, sanctioning abruptly switched to in-house oversight by the IRL. For the first nine races of its existence (five in 1996 and four in 1997), the Indy Racing League fell under the sanctioning umbrella of USAC. While CART sanctioned the primary year-long season of races, the Indianapolis 500 itself remained under the sanctioning of USAC.įor 1996–1997, victories in the Indianapolis 500 and Indy Racing League are listed solely under the heading of Ind圜ar. Note that victories in the Indianapolis 500 from 1979 to 1995 are listed under the heading of USAC. Some later texts chose to dismiss the 71 Big Car races from record, but reliable records and historians contend that the season should be regarded as the full 77-race schedule. The AAA Contest Board included a substantial number of "Big Car" races in the national championship for 1946, swelling the season to 77 events (6 Champ Car races and 71 Big Car races). The 1946 season is a source of a statistical anomaly. All racing was suspended from 1942 to 1945, due to WWII. ![]() Retroactively awarded titles for the other years were later researched, although most historians consider them to be revisionist, and do not deem them as suitable for official record. The national championship was re-instated by AAA for 1920 and beyond. Individual events from 1904, 1906–1915, and 1917–1919 are specifically excluded from the table below, due to the fact that they were not part of an official "championship" season. In the early years of the sport, only two seasons ( 19) an official national championship was recognized and awarded. The AAA Contest Board began sanctioning races as early as 1904.
