Sting Ray Robb [1] (born September 3, 2001) is an American racing driver. He competes in the IndyCar Series, driving the No. 41 Dallara-Chevrolet for A. J. Foyt Enterprises.
Robb received a go-kart at age five, kickstarting his racing career. [2] He started running nationally at age eight, entering Cadet division events from 2010 to 2013. [2] During his first season in the Junior ranks, he finished second in America and raced in Valencia, Spain. [2] Robb won a national championship in Rotax Junior Max karting in 2015. [3] [4] He also raced go-karts in Portugal. [5]
Robb switched from go-kart racing to car racing in 2016. [6] He joined the then- Pro Mazda Championship with World Speed Motorsports in 2017. [7]
Robb ran a full Pro Mazda season in 2018 with Team Pelfrey. [8]
On February 17, 2019, Robb was confirmed to join Juncos Racing as a part of their Indy Pro 2000 roster. [9] After winning two poles in 2019, Robb was confirmed to return to Juncos for the 2020 Indy Pro 2000 season on March 7, 2020. [10]
On July 30, 2020, Robb won his first career Indy Pro 2000 race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. [11] He later swept a three-race weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. [12] Robb claimed one win in a tripleheader weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park in October and secured the championship ahead of the season finale doubleheader at St. Petersburg. [13]
Robb remained with Juncos as he moved up into Indy Lights in 2021. [14]
On October 28, 2021, Andretti Autosport announced that Robb would join the team full-time for the 2022 Indy Lights season. [15] [16]
With significant financial backing and feeling his stock was at his highest, Robb elected to step up to the IndyCar Series rather than stay in the renamed-for-2023 Indy NXT series. [17] Robb would later be confirmed as the full-time driver for Dale Coyne Racing with Rick Ware Racing for the 2023 season, partnering David Malukas. [18] The opening number of races saw Robb being involved in a number of incidents, including a mistake at his maiden IndyCar oval race at Texas which saw him sliding into the wall. [19] As well as this, Robb caused a collision with his teammate Malukas at the Indianapolis Road Course, later apologising for ending the team's day on lap two. [20] In May, he would qualify for his first Indianapolis 500, posting a speed of 229.549 mph during the "Last Chance" session to qualify 32nd. [21] [22] Nearing the mid-point of the race, distracted as Graham Rahal passed Robb, he fell out of the racing groove, resulting in the Idahoan ending his race in the turn one wall. [23] [24]
Robb competed in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West 2018 NAPA Auto Parts Idaho 208, finishing tenth. [25]
Robb attended Payette High School; he played basketball and ran cross country at the school. [26] Robb is a Christian, [27] saying in an article on Racer.com, "My heroes are all those who have come alongside to make it possible for me to follow God’s calling in my life; and to them I say, 'Thank you.' All the glory goes to God!" [18]
