Greg Ray won his first and only Drivers' Championship while Kenny Bräck (pictured) finished second in the championship.

The 1999 Pep Boys Indy Racing League was highly competitive and parity was the order of the year. Team Menard had a very good season with their driver Greg Ray capturing 3 race wins and the series championship. This was the last year before CART teams began to break ranks and jump to the IRL.
