Panther Racing, LLC Information

The sport of auto racing is a complex mix of moving parts, personalities, danger, heartbreak and triumph that culminates to provide one of the most thrilling sports on the planet. Through nearly 100 years of history at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500, open-wheel racing has long been one of the fastest, most innovative and celebrated forms of motorsport in the world’s history. And for the last 12 years, Panther Racing has been privileged to be a small part of that history. Humble beginnings with driver Scott Goodyear and a staff of fewer than 20 quickly evolved into a motorsports dynasty with Sam Hornish Jr. in the early part of this decade. Led by lifelong racer John Barnes, Panther has overcome its obstacles, remained true to its character, and survived lean years to bounce back in 2009 with as strong a makeup as the team has ever had. Beyond its elaborate trophy case, Panther is more than a championship-winning race team. The team takes pride in much more than its on-track product; honoring the soldiers of the National Guard, opening its doors to fans, celebrating and being a small part of Indianapolis 500 history, and always making more with less. This season, Panther celebrates its heritage, while gearing up for its most anticipated race season in history.
