Harding Steinbrenner Racing, is an auto racing team in the IndyCar Series formed as a result of a partnership between Harding Racing, who made their debut in the 2017 Indianapolis 500, and Steinbrenner Racing, who have competed in Indy Lights in a partnership with Andretti Autosport since the 2017 season.

Harding Racing is led by Mike Harding, the owner and president of the Harding Group, a concrete and asphalt paving company based in Indianapolis. Steinbrenner Racing is owned by George Michael Steinbrenner IV, the son of New York Yankees co-owner and co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner and grandson of George Steinbrenner III. Larry Curry currently acts as the team manager and competition director.[2][3] In November 2017, Brian Barnhart was named the team's president as they prepared to join the series full time.[4]

In addition to the Indy 500, the team also competed at Texas Motor Speedway and Pocono Raceway as preparation for joining the season full time for 2018.[5]

On September 19, 2018, it was announced that George Michael Steinbrenner IV had formed the partnership with Harding, renaming it's entries to Harding Steinbrenner Racing, utilizing technical assistance from Andretti Autosport and signing Andretti Indy Lights drivers Patricio O'Ward and Colton Herta (the latter of whom ran under the Andretti-Steinbrenner Racing banner in 2018). At 22-years old, Steinbrenner is the youngest car owner in IndyCar history.[6]
