|footer=[[Sam Hornish Jr.]] (kiri) berhasil memenangkan gelar Kejuaraan Pembalap untuk yang kedua kalinya (gelar kedua secara berturut-turut), sementara [[Hélio Castroneves]] (kanan) menempati posisi kedua di dalam klasemen akhir Kejuaraan Pembalap.
}}
Pada musim 2002, '''Indy Racing League''' (IRL) mengalami masa transisi, dengan dua tim juara CART yang sedang bertahan, [[Team Penske]] dan [[Chip Ganassi Racing]], bergabung dalam seri dengan entri penuh waktu. Mesin Oldsmobile diubah mereknya menjadi Chevrolet, dan baik Honda maupun Toyota mengumumkan partisipasi mereka dalam seri mulai tahun 2003, sementara Infiniti mengumumkan penarikannya.

[[Sam Hornish Jr.]] memenangkan 5 balapan dalam perjalanannya meraih gelar juara keduanya secara beruntun, unggul dari kehebatan Penske, [[Hélio Castroneves]], pemenang dua balapan termasuk Indy 500 dua kali berturut-turut, dalam perjalanan menuju posisi kedua dalam kejuaraan.
