Don't forget the best recent driver example tho; 7-time Silver Crown champ Kody Swanson's "IRP" Indy Pro 2000 (called so at the time) win in 2020. Too bad that was about where that effort seemed to have ended; but if I ever win the lotto, I'll certainly offer him some sponsorship to further pursue a true road to Indy (I don't imagine he will hold his breath awaiting my winning ticket #s...). Good memory on Kahne. Looks like his highlight was 7th at a Houston track in 2001...then NASCAR called...(good for him, he did have a nice career, too bad never a champ, but got an Indy win! I was there and cheered almost louder than I did when JG won the inaugural...figured what the heck, hardly anyone was there anyway...) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_A...c_Championship

These professional rear engine series costs are stunning. The best bet to come up "thru the ranks" is SCCA (and I have not paid attention to the SCCA in years)
Newgarten and Daly both went goKarts thru the lower bore formulas. Jacob Wilson had one rear engine effort as well. $$$$$$$$ |

Nice recall on that one!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_...(racing_driver) wiki - Indy Lights "He made his Firestone Indy Lights debut in the series at the Kentucky Speedway on October 2, 2011 driving for Belardi Auto Racing. He started third, but spun on the opening lap.[6] He also raced in the season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway where he started tenth and finished fifth.[7] Despite only competing in two races in the 2011 Firestone Indy Lights season, he was voted Most Popular Driver." He ended up 9th in that debut race...so two solid top 10s...and that was it...
