Timeline
Vasser ran well and finished in 4th place as CART drivers swept the top five spots at the 500.
However, once returning to the CART circuit, back to back crashes in race No. 5 at Milwaukee and race No. 6 at Detroit seemed to derail the season as Vasser finished the final sixteen races of the season with only four more finishes of 5th to 7th.
Success was limited as Vasser scored only a 9th at Fontana and a gearbox failure cut short his Indy 500 race.
James "Jimmy" Vasser Jr. (born November 20, 1965) is an American former racing driver who competed primarily in the CART series and Champ Car.
Vasser made his CART debut in 1992 and qualified for the Indianapolis 500, as the fastest rookie qualifier.
While he become a top driver on the open-wheel circuit, his rise to prominence overlapped with the IRL-CART "Split".
Vasser's best years were mostly spent away from the Indy 500, although he did race at Indy on a one-off basis a few times after the Split.
In 1995, Vasser joined Chip Ganassi Racing.
At the Indianapolis 500 he was battling for the lead when he crashed with just 30 laps to go.
Later in the season, Vasser finished second at both Detroit and Portland.
But at Portland, race winner Al Unser Jr..'s car failed post-race inspection due to insufficient ground clearance.
Unser was stripped of the victory, and Vasser was elevated to the winner, tentatively his first-career Indy car triumph.
A protest and appeals process dragged out through the summer, and in September Unser was reinstated the win.
Vasser would finish the 1995 season 8th in points.
It was Vasser's first appearance at Indy since 1995.
Vasser and Montoya were well-received by fans, and were quickly up to speed with the IRL regulars.
Vasser led 5 laps, but slipped to 7th at the finish.
Montoya dominated the race en route to victory.
Vasser won ten CART series races and won the 1996 CART championship with Chip Ganassi Racing.
Vasser was the last American to win the CART title.
Vasser won the 1996 U.S. 500, and had a best finish of 4th at the Indianapolis 500 twice (1994 and 2001).
In 1996 Vasser won the CART season opener at Homestead, officially his first win in Indy/Champ Car competition.
He won four races, including the U.S. 500 at Michigan.
He built a large points lead during the first half of the season, with seven top-tens in the first seven races.
He clinched the championship at the season's final race, scoring points in every race except one.
Vasser finished third in points in 1997 with one race win.
He finished second in points with three wins in 1998, including the Marlboro 500 at Fontana.
But teammate Alex Zanardi would outshine him over those two seasons, winning the points championship both years.
He was once again outperformed by his teammate and Montoya won the championship in his rookie season.
In 2000, his last year with Chip Ganassi Racing, Vasser won the Houston Grand Prix for his first victory since 1998.
In that year, Ganassi also became the first major CART major team to crossover to the IRL and compete at the Indianapolis 500.
For 2001, Vasser moved to the Patrick Racing team to drive the No. 40 Reynard Toyota.
Despite having limited sponsorship for the car at first, Vasser started the season strong with four straight finishes of 4th to 6th place.
Continuing the strong start to 2001, Vasser was reunited with Target Chip Ganassi Racing driving for them in the Indianapolis 500.
After a disappointing year without even a podium, Vasser was able to secure the seat of the No. 8 Shell Lola Ford with Rahal Letterman Racing for 2002 which had finished 2nd in CART points the previous season.
In the Shell car, Vasser showed some muscle at Long Beach scoring the pole, leading laps late, and finishing 2nd behind Michael Andretti.
Vasser and Rahal Letterman also crossed over into the IRL where they ran the IRL race in Fontana to prepare for Indianapolis and then the Indianapolis 500.
Vasser's 2002 season in the Shell car was much improved over the previous year with Patrick Racing.
Vasser really finished the year strong with scoring points in each of the final nine races including a podium at Miami and a dominating win at Fontana after a late-race pass of Andretti.
