Alexander Rossi was born in 1991 and grew up in Nevada City, California. He began racing go-karts by age 10 and it didn’t take him long to find success behind the wheel. By 14 years old, Alexander had won multiple national and international karting championships. Moving on from karting, Alexander made the jump in 2008 to becoming Formula BMW World Champion, winning the most poles and victories in series history.

At 17, Alexander moved to Europe in his pursuit of F1 and, at the time, was the youngest driver to hold an F1 Super License. Six years later, in 2015, he made five F1 Grand Prix starts for Manor Racing.

Alexander moved back to the United States in 2016 to race for Andretti Herta Autosport as a rookie in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. That’s where, in his fifth start, he won the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, coasting to the finish line without fuel. After his time with Andretti, Alexander joined Arrow McLaren for the 2023-24 NTT INDYCAR SERIES seasons. During his time racing in papaya, Alexander scored two podiums while leading 121 laps.

Alexander co-hosts of a weekly SiriusXM podcast called “Off Track with Hinch & Rossi” and also has competed on the CBS show “The Amazing Race.” Alexander was the honorary chair of the tenth annual Rev event in May 2023, benefiting Indiana University Health Foundation and the critical work they do in the community.
