Road to the IndyCar Series
After winning the Formula Regional Americas Championship in 2021, Simpson made the big leap to Indy Lights in 2022. Over the course of two seasons, he failed to impress, with just two podium finishes in his second season as the highlight. Thanks to substantial sponsorship backing, he secured a seat with Chip Ganassi Racing for 2024, marking his first season in IndyCar.
IndyCar debut with top team Ganassi Racing
Simpson made his IndyCar debut in St. Petersburg, where he delivered a solid performance with a 12th-place finish. However, it would prove to be a challenging rookie season, as he consistently ranked as the slowest of Ganassi’s five drivers. The 12th-place finish in St. Petersburg turned out to be Simpson's best result of the season, and he ended the championship in 21st place.
Despite making little impact during his rookie season, Simpson will continue to race for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2025. With the team reducing from five cars to three, however, Simpson will move from the #4 to the #8 car.
