'''Paul Anthony Tracy''' (born December 17, 1968) is a Canadian professional auto racing driver who participated in [[Champ Car World Series]], the [[IndyCar Series]], and the [[Championship Auto Racing Teams]] (CART). He started [[kart racing]] at age five and quickly became successful and began car racing at sixteen, finishing third in the 1985 [[Formula Ford 1600]] championship with one win and [[Rookie of the Year (award)|Rookie of the Year]] honors. Tracy became the youngest Canadian Formula Ford champion in the 1985 CASC Formula 1600 Challenge Series and was the youngest [[Can-Am]] race winner the following year. He raced in the [[Indy NXT|American Racing Series]] for three years between [[1988 American Racing Series season|1988]] and [[1990 American Racing Series season|1990]], winning the series title with nine wins from fourteen races in 1990.

Tracy's CART career began in the [[1991 CART PPG Indy Car World Series|1991 season]] with [[Dale Coyne Racing]]. However, following one race, he drove three races for [[Team Penske|Penske Racing]]. He competed with Penske in eleven races during the [[1992 PPG Indy Car World Series|1992 season]], finishing on the podium three times. In the [[1993 PPG Indy Car World Series|1993 season]], Tracy finished third in the drivers' standings after winning five races. The following year, Tracy won three more races. He moved to [[Newman/Haas Racing]] for the [[1995 PPG Indy Car World Series|1995 season]], winning two races before returning to Penske for the [[1996 PPG Indy Car World Series|1996 championship]]. Tracy won another three races in the [[1997 CART PPG World Series|1997 season]] before being fired for criticizing the car and joined [[Andretti Global|Team Green]] the following year. He was third in the [[1999 CART season|1999 championship]] with two victories but fell to fifth in [[2000 CART season|2000 season]] despite three more wins. Tracy's form declined over the next two seasons but won one race in [[2002 CART season|2002]]. He joined [[Forsythe Championship Racing|Forsythe Racing]] in the [[2003 CART season|2003 championship]], winning his first (and only) series title with seven victories.

In the renamed Champ Car World Series (CCWS) in [[2004 Champ Car season|2004]] and [[2005 Champ Car season|2005]], he won two races for fourth overall in both seasons. Tracy's performance declined during a [[2006 Champ Car season|2006 season]] in which he took three podium finishes. His final Champ Car victory came in the [[2007 Champ Car season|2007 championship]]. Following the unification of the CCWS and the IndyCar Series, he raced part-time for the [[KV Racing Technology]], [[Vision Racing]], [[A. J. Foyt Racing|A. J. Foyt Enterprises]], [[Dreyer & Reinbold Racing]] and [[DS Penske|Dragon Racing]] teams over the following three years. Tracy entered [[NASCAR]]-sanctioned [[stock car racing|stock car races]] in its [[NASCAR Xfinity Series|Busch Series]] and the [[NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series|Camping World Truck Series]], [[sports car racing]] through the [[Rolex Sports Car Series]] as well as the [[Stadium Super Trucks]] and the [[Superstar Racing Experience]].

Nicknamed "'''The Thrill from [[West Hill, Toronto|West Hill]]'''" for his aggressive driving style and his [[Bad boy archetype|bad boy image]], his outspoken nature saw him placed on probation and fined several times by CART. He analysed IndyCar races for the Canadian broadcaster [[Sportsnet]] in the [[2013 IndyCar Series|2013 season]] and then for [[NBCSN]] between the [[2014 IndyCar Series|2014]] and [[2021 IndyCar Series|2021]] seasons. Tracy is an inductee of the [[Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame]] and the [[Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame]].

==Driving style==
Tracy has had an aggressive driving style from childhood, which he carried over into CART and was noted for his car control. By the 1999 season, he had learned to moderate his aggressiveness by learning when to make moves and so had fewer accidents. Sports car driver [[Ron Fellows]] observed that Tracy had learnt some of his technique in Europe and likened his karting style to Fittipaldi and Senna.{{sfn|Ferriss|2001|pp=7, 9–11, 31, 134, 197, 225}} He has a propensity for sliding a car into a turn with the rear-end out, which he has desired since he started kart racing.<ref name=NPSep2002/> Tracy was known by fans for driving his car in places that most drivers did not consider, and he frequently crashed as a result.{{Sfn|Ferriss|2001|pp=171–175}} From 1994 until 2002, he employed a [[Traction control system|traction control device]], an illegal electronic driver aid, to reduce tyre wear for greater drive-ability, but he was not allowed to reveal this knowledge for fear of repercussions from his team owner and engine manufacturer.<ref>{{cite news|title=Paul Tracy Admits Using Traction Control|url=https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Paul-Tracy-Admits-Using-Traction-Control-10540270.php|work=[[Edwardsville Intelligencer]]|date=April 28, 2003|access-date=November 5, 2023|archive-date=November 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231105214458/https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Paul-Tracy-Admits-Using-Traction-Control-10540270.php|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=McNulty|first=Dean|title=Tracy admits cheating|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-winnipeg-sun-tracy-admits-cheating/134683324/|work=[[Winnipeg Sun]]|page=56|date=April 30, 2003|access-date=November 5, 2023|via=[[Newspapers.com]] {{open access}}|archive-date=November 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231105214452/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-winnipeg-sun-tracy-admits-cheating/134683324/|url-status=live}}</ref>
