The 31 year-old started racing professionally at the age of 16. He captured his first big break in 2003 with a spot on the Minardi Formula One team before moving to Team Jaguar for the last five races. Justin never looked back after securing a ride in the Champ Car World Series in 2004.
Wilson’s success in open-wheel racing includes two back-to-back runner-up finishes in the 2006-2007 Champ Car World Series, along with four wins and six poles. He soon would turn heads again in his debut in the 2008 IndyCar Series by earning his first victory at the Raceway at Belle Isle in Michigan. Wilson finished the season eleventh overall. That momentum would carry into the 2009 season, when he made the move to Dale Coyne Racing, giving the team its first win. He would continue to record three top-five and seven top-10 finishes, start from the front row at three road/street course events and lead a total of 129 laps, finishing the season 9th in the overall championship.
Justin proved his ultimate determination by forming Justin Wilson plc and selling nearly 900 shares of himself to investors as a means of funding his racing career. A portion of his race winnings are paid back to the investors.
Away from the track Wilson spends his free time at home with his family, wife Julia and daughters’ Jane and Jessica.
