Kanaan won the 2004 NTT IndyCar Series championship for what was then known as Andretti Green Racing. Always a leading contender at the Indianapolis 500, it took the popular Brazilian 12 tries before he finally won the big race in 2013 for KV Racing Technologies. Tony Kanaan started fifth and finished in 10th in the 2021 Indianapolis 500 and proved he still had competitiveness. Team owner Chip Ganassi brought him back for last year’s Indianapolis in a fifth for the team. Kanaan started sixth and finished third, coming very close to scoring his second career Indy 500 win finishing behind race-winning teammate Marcus Ericsson and current Arrow McLaren teammate Pato O’Ward.
McLaren F1 CEO Zak Brown hired Kanaan to drive a fourth entry in this year’s Indianapolis 500, which is Kanaan’s only NTT IndyCar Series race. Just 14 days ago at IndyCar’s “Content Day” at the Palm Springs Convention Center, Kanaan spoke of the excitement he felt getting ready for 22nd Indianapolis 500 start.
“It’s a great opportunity that came up off such a great run last year,” Kanaan said. “I’m excited.
