He ran in the Toyota Atlantic championship for two seasons, winning the title in 1995. In 1996 he moved up to IndyCar racing, driving for John Della Penna in both the IRL and Champ Car ranks. He won an IRL race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to cap off the year and was co-rookie of the year at the Indianapolis 500, finishing 3rd.

He moved full-time into Champ Car in 1997 for Della Penna with high profile sponsor Budweiser but failed to post significant results and by 2000 was surplus for sponsored driver Norberto Fontana.
