Richard Antinucci (born January 26, 1981) is a professional race car driver with dual Italian and American heritage.

Career

Antinucci, whose father is American and mother Italian, launched his racing career in 1998 competing in British Formula Ford with Haywood Racing. He then advanced to the British Formula Renault Winter Series in 1999, followed by participation in the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup during 2000, including two additional starts in 2001.

In 2002, he signed with Manor Motorsport to compete in British Formula 3, but partway through the 2003 season, he transferred first to Carlin and then briefly raced for Promatecme. The following year, he took his talents to the Japanese Formula Three Championship.

During 2005, Antinucci raced in the Formula Three Euroseries, finishing in 19th place overall. He demonstrated significant progress the next year by securing multiple victories and concluding the season fifth in the standings. Notably, he achieved a second-place finish at the Macau Grand Prix that same year after starting from the 15th grid position.

In 2007, Antinucci competed in the Indy Pro Series with Cheever Racing, a team owned by his uncle Eddie Cheever. Restricting his participation to road course events—9 out of 16 races—he managed two wins and ended the season ranked 15th in points. He then joined Sam Schmidt Motorsports, the reigning champions, for the 2008 season where he earned two victories and finished as runner-up to Raphael Matos by a margin of 32 points.

Antinucci’s debut in the IndyCar Series occurred on July 5, 2009, driving for Team 3G at Watkins Glen International.
