🇺🇸 Spencer Pigot

Spencer Pigot is an established professional who raced single-seaters, prototypes and GT sports cars across nine seasons from 2013 to 2021. He won the 2015 Indy NXT championship with Juncos Hollinger Racing, driving their open-wheel car in a series mixing amateurs through to graded professionals. His earlier career included a title run with Juncos Racing in the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship, where he finished second in the points after six wins from fourteen starts.[1]

His primary work came in IndyCar, where he made fifty-eight starts between 2016 and 2020, competing on road and street courses and ovals. He took one podium finish in that series. Alongside IndyCar he raced in IMSA endurance championships: thirteen starts in WeatherTech from 2016 to 2021, split across the DPi, LMP2 and LMP3 prototype classes, yielding two wins and six podiums; and ten starts in the IMSA Pilot Challenge GS class in 2021, earning a single podium. Across all series he finished 127 races with fifteen wins and thirty podiums.[2]

In his regular IndyCar company, Pigot was closely matched with Max Chilton, an established professional and FIA Platinum-graded driver with experience across Formula 1, GP2 and IndyCar; he usually finished behind Simon Pagenaud, the 2016 IndyCar champion and another Platinum-graded established professional. He finished ahead of Alex Palou, now a four-time IndyCar champion and elite professional, once across their careers, and beat Pato O'Ward, the elite professional and 2018 Indy NXT champion, three times in their meetings.
