built 627 days ago
Tony Kanaan is a Brazilian race car driver of Lebanese heritage from Salvador, Brazil. Kanaan was the 1997 Indy Lights champion, driving in the ChampCar World Series, initially for Tasman. He raced for Mo Nunn's start-up team for three years before moving on to the Indy Racing League where he won the championship in 2004 for Andretti Green Racing, while completing every lap raced in his championship year, finishing in the top 5 in all but the season-opener.

Under a cloudless sky in the middle of the desert, pole-starter Tony Kanaan took this 200-mile race by a margin of just 0.9328 seconds. This was the first Indy Car Series win for Kanaan, the Andretti Green Racing team and the Honda Indy V8 engine.

It happens at nearly every IRL race: no matter where he starts on the grid, Tony Kanaan finds his way to the front of the pack in the opening laps. It is this inner "drive" that has made him one of the series' most successful and respected drivers and an annual championship threat.

Former IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan is to contest the ninth round of the Japanese Formula Nippon Series at Suzuka next month. The Brazilian driver has accepted an invitation from Japan Race Promition to contest the event, although the Andretti Green Racing ace will not be eligible to score championship points.

Tony Kanaan's luck held up twice in the Detroit Indy Grand Prix. The Brazilian, the leader after a late restart, had enough fuel to win the shortened race and avoid a last-lap melee that collected IndyCar Series points leader Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti. Danica Patrick avoided the wreckage to score a career-best finish in second place.
