Dario Franchitti (left) won his third Drivers' Championship (second straight title) while Will Power (right) finished second in the championship.

The 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series was the 15th season of the IndyCar Series, and the 99th recognized season of top-level American open wheel racing. It was the series' first of six planned seasons under Izod title sponsorship, a multimillion-dollar deal which was announced on November 5, 2009. ^{[1] [2]} Its premier event was the 94th Indianapolis 500, held on Sunday, May 30.

This season is notable for having the most women to compete in a season: Beatriz, Duno, Fisher, Patrick and de Silvestro. They all competed in the Peak Antifreeze & Motor Oil Indy 300 and the Cafés do Brasil Indy 300.

Chip Ganassi Racing's Dario Franchitti retained his title, to win his third in four seasons after defeating Team Penske driver Will Power in a championship battle that went to the final race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Power had led the championship for most of the season, and led Franchitti by twelve into Homestead, but after hitting the wall during the race and finishing in 25th place, Franchitti's eighth-place finish with maximum bonus points gave him the championship by five points. Franchitti and Power each won one of the new-for-2010 sub-championships for oval tracks, and road courses. Franchitti won the oval championship with six top-five finishes from eight races, including victories at the Indianapolis 500 and Chicagoland, ^[3] and also won the road course event at Mid-Ohio. Power was even more dominant in the road course championship, finishing each of the nine races in the top three, with five wins in São Paulo, St. Petersburg, Watkins Glen, Toronto and Sonoma. ^[4]

After battling Franchitti for the title in 2009, Scott Dixon and Ryan Briscoe finished third and fifth in the championship standings with the third Penske car, piloted by Hélio Castroneves finished between the pair. Dixon won on the ovals at Kansas and Homestead-Miami, as well as a victory in Edmonton after Castroneves was penalised for blocking on a late-race restart. Dixon's victory in Florida helped him overhaul Castroneves for third place in the championship standings. Castroneves also took three victories during the season, winning the inaugural race at Barber Motorsports Park as well as back-to-back victories at Kentucky and Twin Ring Motegi, as he finished sixteen points behind Dixon. Briscoe finished over 100 points behind Franchitti, with a solitary victory at Texas. Andretti Autosport drivers Tony Kanaan and Ryan Hunter-Reay were the only other drivers to win a race, as they finished sixth and seventh respectively. Rookie of the Year went to Dale Coyne Racing driver Alex Lloyd who competed in his first full season, after three races over the previous two seasons. He finished 24 points ahead of Simona de Silvestro.

As of 2024, this was the last season that the winner of the Indy 500 went on to also win the championship in the same season.

Series news

• Announced in a press conference at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on November 5, 2009, clothier Izod signed on as the series' new title sponsor from 2010 to 2015, with an option for two additional years. ^[1] According to Robin Miller, ^[8] the deal was worth $10 million per year with at least $5 million toward promotions and marketing. It would additionally include a payout of $100,000 per car, per year to teams eligible for the TEAM revenue-sharing program, and possible partial funding for a full-time car for Ryan Hunter-Reay, whom received sponsorship backing from the brand in 2009. This was the third title sponsorship in the IndyCar Series' history; previous sponsorships were provided by Pep Boys (1998–1999) and Northern Light (2000–2001).
• On September 23, 2009 it was confirmed that Honda would extended their role as a series's standard single engine supplier contract for another two years that in place until the end of 2011 season. ^[9]
• On November 25, 2009, a season opening race in São Paulo, Brazil was confirmed by city authorities and an Indy Racing League press release. ^{[10] [11]} The race, the São Paulo Indy 300, took place on a 2.3-mile (3.7 km) temporary street course. Despite the long travel distance for the teams, the event was lucrative with Terry Angstadt claiming each participating team would receive a six-figure sum from the event promoters in addition to all expenses paid. ^[12]
• The possibility was left open for a race at Milwaukee, however, ongoing issues involving unpaid sanctioning fees from the management put the race, and the future of the facility, at risk. In November, Historic Mile, LLC. announced they were going out of business. ^[7] It was announced on December 16 that no national racing series would race at the Milwaukee Mile in 2010 due to the inability for Wisconsin State Fair Park officials to find a replacement promoter for the season. ^[13]
• The July 25 race in Edmonton went ahead, despite event organizers losing $9.2 million on the race over the previous two seasons. ^{[14] [15]}
• 2010 rule changes were announced on January 12, 2010. The 4-position fuel mixture switch was removed so that cars were only able to run on "full rich" or "yellow" fuel settings. The Honda Overtake assist returned with an approximate doubling of bhp increase from last year's 5–20 bhp upon pressing the button. All cars had a reverse gear on the road and street courses and thus reintroduced in 2010. ^[16]
• IRL founder and IMS board member, Tony George, resigned from the IMS effective immediately on January 19, 2010. ^[17]
• Former chief executive officer of the Professional Bull Riders, Randy Bernard, was announced as the new IRL CEO on February 2, 2010. ^[18]
• A carriage dispute between the Comcast Corporation and its Versus channel, and DirecTV that had been in place since August was resolved on March 15, 2010. This meant that Versus was restored to nearly sixteen million customers; returning to coverage that the channel offered before the dispute. ^[19]
• Indianapolis 500 qualifying in 2010 awarded points to each of the 33 qualifying drivers. The polesitter received fifteen points, with the other drivers on the front row receiving 13 and 12 respectively. Each qualifying driver earned at least three points. ^[20]
• Two additional titles were awarded starting with the 2010 season, with an oval champion and a road/street course champion being crowned. A trophy and prize money was awarded to the highest points finisher on the 9 road/street courses and 7 oval races (excluding Homestead). ^[21] After a fan vote, the names of the championships were announced as the A. J. Foyt Oval Championship and the Mario Andretti Road Course Championship. ^[22]
• The development freeze introduced for the 2009 season remains in place for the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
• Sunoco would become the official fuel of the series starting in mid-2010 and running through 2018. Sunoco would work with APEX–Brasil and UNICA to provide ethanol for the series. ^[23]

R. Hildebrand as the team's top targets. ^[87] Hildebrand revealed on his Twitter account that he would be testing with Coyne's team at Sebring on February 15. ^[88] Robin Miller reported that Milka Duno was the likely teammate of Hildebrand and that Rahal had turned down Coyne's offer of a seat. ^[89] Duno was confirmed by the team on March 4, 2010. ^[90] On March 8, Gordon Kirby reported that Alex Lloyd would be driving the #19. ^[91]

R. Hildebrand replaced Conway at two events and drove the team's No. 24 Roll Coater entry for Mid-Ohio and the No. 24 TranSystems machine in Sonoma. ^[102]
• KV Racing Technology : Team owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Jimmy Vasser expanded from one to three cars for 2010. ^[48] According to a radio interview on "Trackside with Curt Cavin and Kevin Lee", Paul Tracy had a verbal commitment with KV Racing to drive for the team in the Indy 500, Toronto, Edmonton, and one other race airing on ABC with sponsorship from GEICO and Honda Canada. Mario Moraes was expected to return in light of Jimmy Vasser returning from Brazil recently, according to Robin Miller's mail bag. On February 13, the team announced that E. J. Viso would test for the team at Sebring International Raceway on February 15, with the intentions of securing a full-time deal. Former Formula One driver Takuma Sato was confirmed by the team on February 18. ^[103] On February 22, the team confirmed that Viso would drive for the team, ^[104] driving the #8 car. ^[105] Former Honda Formula One test driver James Rossiter had been expected to join the team as a third full-time driver, ^[106] with Tracy in a fourth car part-time, ^[89] but Mario Moraes returned to the team, driving the #32 car. ^[107]
• CURB/Agajanian/3G Racing : In a statement made on October 7, 2009, Stanton Barrett claimed "We CURB/Agajanian/3G Racing are all working to find the proper sponsorship for next year" and that the team is, "working to see which races Stanton can run next year." ^[108] Team co-owner Steve Sudler said in an interview with blog 16th and Georgetown that Richard Antinucci would be one of the team's drivers in 2010 and the team was building its program around him. The team explored possibilities for a second car, most likely for Jaques Lazier or Stanton Barrett. ^[109] However, the team made no official announcement and did not participate in the open test at Barber Motorsport Park. Team 3G planned to start in St. Pete with Antinucci, however this did not happen.
• Bryan Herta Autosport : Herta formed the team in 2009 in a partnership with Vision Racing, and planned to enter at Indianapolis. ^[110] On February 23, 2010, Curt Cavin reported that Sebastián Saavedra had signed full-time with BHA in Firestone Indy Lights and would run this year's Indianapolis 500. Blog Da Indy reported that Saavedra could have also run the Indycar races at Texas, Toronto, Sonoma and Homestead. ^[111]

Testing

Two open tests were scheduled for February 24–26 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama and May 4 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. ^[113] At Barber, Team Penske's Will Power recorded the best time over the three sessions, and topped the times in two of the three held. His lap time of 1:09.8724 – set in the third session ^[114] – saw him as the only driver to set a time in the 1:09s. Teammates Hélio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe set the second-fastest and third-fastest laps of the test. The Kentucky test was washed out by weepers – water seeping up onto the track from six inches of overnight rain – and no times were set. ^[115]
