Indy 500s: | 1 (2014-2015) |
Recent Indycar graduate, formerly based in Europe, initially in Formula BMW UK in 2007, then into the European version of the series in 2008. Huertas then spent 3 years in British Formula 3 and then two seasons in Formula Renault 3.5 before moving to the US. In truth, his performances had been solid rather than spectacular before the IRL but he took to the new series with aplomb with a win at Houston - the first rookie win in the series since 2008. Remained there in 2015, but is no longer racing. A lack of money, a nagging ear infection and most significantly the death of his former team-mate Justin Wilson meant Huertas decided to stop racing in 2016.
