Swedish racer Stefan Johansson enjoyed a successful racing career, which saw him become popular with racing fans around the world.
Now 51, Johansson calls Indianapolis home and owns a successful go-kart business there. He returned to full-time competition in the American Le Mans Series in 2007.
Johansson won the British Formula 3000 championship in 1980 and graduated to Formula One where he was a regular through the 1991 season. He made 103 Formula One starts, but never won a Grand Prix. He did finish on the podium 12 times.
Johansson moved to CART in 1992 and made 74 starts through the 1996 season, but was winless in that series as well.
However, Johansson did co-drive to victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, both during the 1997 season.
