Five drivers who competed in the 1999 CART FedEx Championship Series, and another driver who will race in the series in 2000, have been recognized as members of the 1999 All-America Auto Racing Team.

The team, selected annually by the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association, is comprised of open wheel, stock car, road racing, drag racing and short track drivers.

At-large drivers from various levels of motorsports are also recognized and a first team, second team and an honorable mention squad is chosen.

1999 FedEx Championship Series champion Juan Montoya of Target/Chip Ganassi Racing was named to the first team. Team KOOL Green's Dario Franchitti, who finished second to Montoya in the series points race this season, was named to the second team.

Kenny Brack, who competed in the Indy Racing League in 1999 and will race for Team Rahal in 2000, was also named to the second team. Michael Andretti of Newman/Haas Racing, Paul Tracy of Team KOOL Green and the late Greg Moore, who competed for the Player's Forsythe Racing Team, earned honorable mention recognition on the All-America Team.
