The competitive nature of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES is best exemplified by the season championship being decided in the final race of the season for the 15th straight year. The top three drivers entering the final race of the season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES were all either former champions or star drivers in Indy Lights. Four of the top five drivers are also graduates of the Indy Lights series. Indy Lights races are often the support series for INDYCAR, and some of the top INDYCAR teams in the series, such as Andretti Autosport, are also involved in Indy Lights. Pato O’Ward and Colton Herta are the two best examples of how a successful Indy Lights driver can go on to excel in INDYCAR. O’Ward won the Indy Lights championship in 2018 with nine wins in 17 races.
