Former IndyCar driver Andre Ribeiro passes away at age 55

From RACER:

Former CART IndyCar Series driver Andre Ribiero has died after a fight with cancer.

Best known for delivering Honda’s first win in CART in 1995 at New Hampshire International Speedway, the Brazilian developed his skills at home and on the European open-wheel ladder before turning his attention to North America and the Indy Lights series.

Sad news for fans of 1990s IndyCar racing. Ribeiro is best remembered for a short stint at Penske at the end of his career in 1998, in addition to earning Honda’s first IndyCar victory in 1995.
