Tony Kanaan will retire from IndyCar after this year’s Indy500 Full story ⬇️
Less than a month after declaring that he didn’t expect to make a decision over his future until he finished the Indy 500 in May, the 48-year-old Brazilian has declared that his 390The 2004 Indy car champion and 2013 Indy 500 winner retires with 17 wins at the top of US open-wheel racing, having been held in great affection by fans worldwide.
Three years at Mo Nunn Racing produced several more podium finishes, but perhaps most significantly, saw he and Nunn break ranks with the CART/Champ Car faithful in May to run a one-off effort at Indy Racing League-sanctioned Indianapolis 500. Kanaan qualified Nunn’s car in fifth, led 23 laps before crashing out at half-distance with a backmarker.
Finally he departed the team in which he’d made his name to join KV Racing. Kanaan was able to deliver the team some badly-needed consistency so that he finished fifth in the 2011 championship, and was able to steer the team as IndyCar transitioned to the spec DW12 chassis and new Chevrolet twin-turbo V6 for 2012.
