Hideki Mutoh didn't take long to grasp the American open-wheel racing in his first season. A graduate of Honda's driver development program, Mutoh scored two victories en route to a second-place finish in the Firestone Indy Lights championship in 2007. His first victory of the season came on the road course at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, while the second came on the Kentucky Speedway oval after he made a dramatic last-lap, three-wide pass for the lead. Mutoh made his IndyCar Series debut at Chicagoland Speedway in the final race of the season, where he finished in eighth place. He won the 2008 Bombardier Learjet Rookie of the Year award. Mutoh enjoys running, biking, darts and tennis.
