Indy Regency Racing was a racing team owned bySal Incandela who had worked with several Formula One andCART teams.
The team made its debut at the Mid-Ohio round of the1991Indy Lights Championship, withDavid Kudrave as its driver, and contested the entire Indy Lights series for 1992 (again with Kudrave).[citation needed] In 1993 the team made its move to the CARTChampionship Car series by fielding a car in the1993 Indianapolis 500 for F1 veteranOlivier Grouillard. The team's first race that year was to be the Indianapolis 500, however, the car failed to make the field for the "500" but Grouillard participated in 11 races that season for the team. In 1994 the team signed 1990 Indy 500 championArie Luyendyk who had been let go byChip Ganassi Racing. Luyendyk got the team into its first Indy 500 with 8th on the grid but was knocked out by an engine failure 11 laps from the finish. Luyendyk also finished 17th in points in 1994 with a runner up finish at theMichigan International Speedway. In 1995 the team only ran Indy Lights except for an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the1995 Indianapolis 500 with driverFranck Freon.
The team returned to the Indy 500 in2000 with an entry forJohnny Unser who started 30th and finished 22nd in the team's firstIndy Racing League race. They returned the following year with inexperienced rookieCory Witherill who made an improbably successful Bump Day run to get the Regency machine into its 3rd Indy 500. Witherill brought the car home in 19th position. In2002 Regency fielded a car forHideki Noda in the last 3 races of the season with little success.[1] The team participated inToyota Atlantic in 2002 after Indy Lights' demise[2] and apparently shut down shortly thereafter.
