Gen Z Shaking Up IndyCar's Established Order
IndyCar finds itself in the midst of a Gen Z takeover. Leading into the Grand Prix of Long Beach, the standout storyline of the early season is that the top four in the championship were all born between 1997 and 2001.
Altogether, six of the top ten drivers were born in this new-century timeframe. For most of IndyCar's 100-plus years of existence, young drivers were expected to toil away for long periods at smaller teams and pay their dues before being considered for prime opportunities at bigger teams.
