Overview
IndyCar Stats Scraper
Scrape IndyCar stats for any season, up to a million records per run. Every record comes with driver, team, race, and performance data. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

|---|---|

| Fantasy league players | Which drivers to pick for the next race |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check the season year you entered. If the season is not available on the public IndyCar stats pages, the Actor returns nothing. Try a different season or leave it blank for the current season.
Why did the run stop before I expected?
The max records setting caps the number of records per run. Increase the max records value if you need more data.
Why are some fields empty?
Some stats may not be available for every record on the public IndyCar stats pages. Empty fields mean the source page did not have that value.
Why is the run slow?
The Actor reads the public IndyCar stats pages, so speed depends on the source website and the number of records requested. Reduce max records if you need faster results.
Can I get data for a specific driver?
The input only supports season filtering. To get a specific driver, scrape the full season and filter the output dataset by driver name.
