Guthrie Racing

Guthrie Racing is a Firestone Indy Lights Series team.

The team started in 2005 and is owned by 1997 Indy Racing League (IRL) “Rookie of the Year” honoree and 1997 Phoenix Race winner Jim Guthrie. The team begin running in the Star Mazda Pro Series in 2005 with numerous podium and top 10 finishes. In 2006, the team moved into the Indy Pro Series (now called the Firestone Indy Lights Series) and made headlines quickly by winning the second and third races of the season on the Streets of St. Petersburg with driver Raphael Matos.

The team continued on into 2007 and ran a 2 car effort for most of the season, running Sean Guthrie, Jim Guthrie's 20 year old son, for the entire year and Tom Wieringa for the majority of the races.

Guthrie Racing run 4 cars for the 2008 season in the Firestone Indy Lights Series with drivers Sean Guthrie, Logan Gomez, Franck Perera and Mickey Gilbert. The 4rd car has been driven by Robbie Pecorari who achieved a 2nd place finish in Kansas Speedway after starting 23rd on the grid, and Tom Wieringa who made history by becoming the oldest driver to compete in the series at age 52. Franck Perera joined the team beginning at the Iowa race June 21,2008 after losing his IndyCar Series ride with Conquest Racing due to his sponsor going bankrupt.

The team has been expanding each year since its existence and hopes to run in the IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis 500 in the near future.
