Every IndyCar Win in 1998 (CART)

The 1998 CART season saw a continued expansion to the schedule, with the introduction of the street course at Houston and the Asian expansion at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan. Legendary IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti would make his breakout season this year, winning 3 races in the latter half of the year, but Chip Ganassi continued its absolute dominance, with Alex Zanardi having the best season in the modern era of IndyCar to date and clinching his second championship 4 races early. I hope you enjoy the video, and I'll see you next time!

I have recently learned that the final race for 1998 at Fontana was actually just called “The 500”. My mistake, but goddamn that is a stupid name

Nope, not 100 % true.
It was officall the Malboro 500, but because of the Tabacco Settlement, it was dissallowed to name it on the broadcasts

Target Chip Ganassi Racing dominated that season. 10 wins, 1st and 2nd in the championship, Zanardi winning 4 in a row and setting a new record in points and top 3 finishes. Jimmy Vasser also scored more points in 1998 than he scored on his title season (1996)
Actually, if it wasn't by Greg Moore late moves both in Rio and Michigan, TCGR would have won 10 races in a row.

I wonder if young Dario ever knew what the next 15 years would hold for him in terms of his alltime ranking?
