The 22-year-old son of Yankees chairman Hank Steinbrenner joined Indiana businessman Mike Harding late last year as a partner in Harding Steinbrenner Racing. And the reality, Harding said, is that Steinbrenner could have pursued his dreams at either one. Steinbrenner set up an Indy Lights program — basically a Triple-A IndyCar operation — with help from Andretti Autosport, and he put Herta in the driver’s seat. Steinbrenner joined up with Harding, who had fielded cars for the Indy 500 the past couple years, and built out the team with experienced minds. Longtime IndyCar executive Brian Barnhart helps run the operation, and two-time Indy 500 winner Al Unser Jr. is lending his expertise.
