# Temporada 1989 de la CART IndyCar World Series

La temporada 1989 de la CART IndyCar World Series fue la undécima temporada de la Championship Auto Racing Teams, que consistió en 15 carreras y una carrera no puntuable, comenzando en Avondale, Arizona, el 9 de abril y concluyendo en Monterey, California, el 15 de octubre. El campeón de la PPG IndyCar World Series y ganador de las 73.ª edición de las 500 Millas de Indianápolis fue Emerson Fittipaldi, siendo el primer brasileño y latinoamericano en conseguirlo, hazaña que 11 años después volvería a conseguir el colombiano Juan Pablo Montoya. El destacado Novato del Año fue el mexicano Bernard Jourdain. Una vez más, se volvió a disputar una carrera fuera del campeonato, esta vez en el Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, el Desafío Marlboro en Monterey, California.
