IndyCar
Hildebrand made his
Later in 2011, Hildebrand qualified for the Indianapolis 500 and was the most successful rookie during his premiere race. Hildebrand was able to lead at the halfway point for Panther Racing and stayed on the lead lap for the entire race. This allowed him to take a gamble during his last pit stop, stretching out his fuel load to an eventual lead on the final lap. On the very last turn, he slid out of the racing lane and into the retaining wall while passing rapidly slowing Charlie Kimball, allowing Dan Wheldon to take the victory. Despite the damage to his car – including the loss of a wheel – Hildebrand retained enough speed to cross the finish line in second place.
On October 16, 2011, Hildebrand was involved in a 15-car chain-reaction crash at
Following a last-place finish in the
In 2014, Hildebrand joined Ed Carpenter Racing for the Indianapolis 500, driving the No. 21.[11] On November 4, 2016, it was confirmed that Hildebrand would take over the Ed Carpenter Racing No. 21 car for the 2017 season, replacing Josef Newgarden.[12] He finished 15th in the points standing for the season, achieving a second-place finish in Iowa and a third in Phoenix. Following the season Hildebrand was not retained by the team.[13]
For 2018 Hildebrand was signed for by Dreyer & Reinbold Racing to pilot their car in the Indy 500 (their only entry of the season) and finished 11th. He returned in the same role in 2019, finishing 20th.[14] He again returned in 2020 for the same one-race role, despite the team's increased commitment to a part-time schedule. He finished in 16th.[15]
In 2021 Hildebrand drove a specially liveried car for
Pikes Peak Hillclimb
In 2018, Hildebrand competed in the
In 2021 it was quietly announced Hildebrand would compete in the Open Wheel Class, driving a 2021 Dallara DW12/IR18 IndyCar. That effort fell through due to numerous technicalities which could not be overcome in time to compete.
On February 1, 2022, it was announced Hildebrand had entered the 2022 running of the event,[16] competing in the Open Wheel Class, driving a 2022 Dallara IR18 Evo IndyCar.[17] While not an IndyCar sanctioned event, all of the IndyCar suppliers are involved in it,[18] as well as chassis manufacturer Dallara.
