2000 USAC Gold Crown Series (Johnsonverse)

The 2000 USAC Gold Crown Series presented by NTT season was the 45th national championship season of American open wheel racing sanctioned by USAC. The season consisted of 40 races. The USAC National Champion was Gil de Ferran, and rookie of the year was Airton Daré.
The relative decline of Chip Ganassi Racing and an atypical parity among the major engine and chassis builders led to the most wide-open championship race in the history of the series, with seven different winners in the first seven races of the year and 11 drivers winning a race. From 1997–1999, only two drivers came within 50 points of the champion; nine would do so in 2000.
Penske Racing returned to prominence using Ford engines (which Penske was also using in the NASCAR RCA Cup Series). Gil de Ferran and Helio Castroneves (the latter signed following the death of Greg Moore), combined for 5 wins, 4 of which were on the road courses the team had not been competitive on in their previous chassis and engine. Veterans Michael Andretti and Paul Tracy, who were 1 and 2 in the championship after the Vancouver round, would fall short after poor finishes down the stretch. Most surprising of all to observers was the return to prominence of Patrick Racing, with veterans Adrian Fernandez and Roberto Moreno finishing second and third respectively in the championship.
For the first time since 1989, Mopar won the Constructors' Cup, but its accompanying Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth engine did not win the Manufacturers' Cup. Instead, Ford won its first Manufacturers' Cup.
==Drivers and teams ==
The following teams and drivers competed in the 2000 USAC Gold Crown Series season. Five years after the return of Firestone, rival tire manufacturer Goodyear withdrew from USAC to focus on NASCAR. So all cars ran on Firestone Firehawk tires, except for the Formula One teams that entered the Indianapolis 500, who ran on Bridgestone tires.
