World Speed Motorsports History

As one of America's most dynamic racing ventures, World Speed Motorsports has operated multi-car programs in the Champ Car Atlantic Championship, Star Mazda Pro Series and FormulaTR. In the Atlantic series, the team demonstrated its ability to be a frontrunner on every type of circuit, from the streets of Long Beach to the shores of Montreal. WSM is a proven winner in all three series, and plans to continue this tradition for many years to come.

Founded in 1991 by Chuck West, World Speed initially focused on the Formula Mazda series, where West finished third overall and won the Rookie-of-the-Year title in his first season as an owner/driver. 1992 resulted in the series championship by virtue of West's five wins, ten podiums and three track records. Since then, World Speed has captured six Formula Mazda championships and five pro series Rookie-of-the-Year titles under West's guidance, and Telo Stewart's management.
