The 2009 Star Mazda Championship was the eleventh season of the
Star Mazda Championship, an
open wheelauto racing series that competes using
spec chassis and engines. It consisted of a 13-race schedule beginning in March and ending in October. For the first time since 2006, the series featured races on
oval tracks, more precisely the
Milwaukee Mile and the
Iowa Speedway. The remaining races except the one at Virginia were held jointly with the also Mazda-backed
Atlantic Championship. In addition to the main championship that is typically tested by young, developing drivers, there were also additional class titles for senior drivers.
Adam Christodoulou won the championship ahead of Peter Dempsey, after the Irish driver's retirement at the final round at
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca gifted the title to the Briton.[1][2] Chris Cumming and Michael Guasch won class titles for older drivers.[3]
