ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tony Kanaan will look to extend his Indy car-record streak of 233 consecutive starts March 29 in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
Competing in every race this season will push his career starts to 310 (seventh on the all-time list). No. 300 will be the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, which he won in 2013.
Four other active drivers (Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves, Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay) have made more than 100 consecutive starts.
