🇺🇸 Oliver Askew

Oliver Askew is an American racing driver who competed in IndyCar with Andretti Autosport. He came up through the junior single-seater ranks in the United States, culminating in the 2019 Indy Lights championship, a title reflected in the record as his sole championship to date. That success established him as one of the more closely watched American open-wheel prospects of his generation and served as the platform for his subsequent move into top-level competition. Beyond his IndyCar program, Askew has also been associated with Andretti's Formula E operation, expanding his experience across different disciplines of motorsport.[1]

Over the course of his career, Askew has made 35 starts, taking 7 wins and 16 podium finishes, a productive return that underscores his ability to run consistently near the front. His Racer Rating of 4,499 places him 698th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite sit between 10,000 and 11,500, indicating a competent but not top-tier standing within the current global field. His 2026 season has been comparatively quiet, with no wins or podiums across five rounds and a 37th-place position in the standings, suggesting a challenging campaign relative to his earlier form. Now listed as retired, Askew's record stands as that of a driver who reached the top step as a champion in the junior ranks and carried a respectable win and podium tally into his senior career, even as his final seasons did not recapture that early peak.[2]
