Timeline
Samuel Schmidt (born August 15, 1964) is a former Indy Racing League driver and current NTT IndyCar Series and Indy Lights series team owner.
After graduating from Pepperdine University, Schmidt became a successful businessman, eventually purchasing his father's parts company in 1989 at the age of 25.
He raced at a competitive amateur level, supported by his business income, but dreamed of someday driving in the Indianapolis 500.
Schmidt first drove professionally in 1995 in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series at the age of 31, where he won Rookie of the Year honors.
In 1997 Schmidt made his first Indy Racing League start and became a rising star in the league.
Schmidt's brief IndyCar career included a win in 1999, but an accident before the 2000 season left him a quadriplegic.
Schmidt is currently co-owner of the Arrow McLaren IndyCar team.
He raced three consecutive years at the Indianapolis 500, and earned his first race victory, from pole position, at Las Vegas in 1999.
He finished fifth in series points that year.
During that offseason, while testing in preparation for the 2000 season, Schmidt crashed at Walt Disney World Speedway on January 6, 2000.
The accident rendered him a quadriplegic, and put him on a respirator for five months.
After leaving the hospital, Schmidt, no longer able to drive a racecar, realized he needed to find a new passion and follow it.
Sam Schmidt Motorsports was a full-time IndyCar series team in 2001 and 2002, and continues to participate annually in the Indianapolis 500.
Inspired by meeting tetraplegic Formula One team owner Sir Frank Williams, he founded Sam Schmidt Motorsports, which has become the most successful team in the history of the Indy Lights series, winning the 2004 series championship with Thiago Medeiros, the 2006 title with Jay Howard, and the 2007 title with Alex Lloyd.
In the Firestone Indy Lights series, as of August 2009 the team had posted 30 victories out of 100 starts.
After acquiring the FAZZT Race Team IndyCar team in 2011, Sam Schmidt Motorsports returned full-time to the IZOD IndyCar Series, and on May 21, 2011, driver Alex Tagliani won the pole position for the Indianapolis 500, the first pole for the team.
