About Abel Motorsports

Who We Are

Abel Motorsports including team Principal, Bill Abel, has been competing since 1972. Abel Motorsports is now on to the third generation with Jacob Abel being the flagship driver for the team. The team was able to capture the inaugural F3 Americas Championship in 2018, and currently competes in the INDY NXT by Firestone championship, the official development series of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. 

BILL ABEL

Team Owner

Aside from the fact that Abel motorsports are on a mission to become one of the best teams in motorsports, their team owner and his racing expertise add a bit more fuel. Bill Abel has been racing on some track most of his life. As a youngster, his family owned and operated Castle Point Motor Sports Park in New Castle, Ky, in the 1970s. The world-class motocross facility hosted national and international events attended by the world’s best racers of that era. It was here that Bill started racing motocross which developed into a championship-winning, multi-decades-long career ending with an accident in 1994. Fast forward several years, and that competitive spirit rose again, this time in the form of competitive vintage sportscar racing, culminating with a coveted gold helmet winning the national championship in 2014.

As committed as Bill was to his racing passion, he started in the field of the family construction business and eventually became CEO. Based in Louisville, Ky, his time became devoted to building and leading that team as the company grew. For years, growing not only the construction family but his personal family was also growing up. As the youngest of three children, his son Jacob also started showing an interest in going fast. Bill used the same fundamental steps he used to build the construction team by starting with a good strong foundation to assemble Abel Motorsports. In construction, the schedules and milestones are essential to the team, same for a race team, keep everybody safe and on schedule and celebrate the milestones and victories. 

Today, Abel Motorsports is climbing to the top under Bill’s leadership and utilizing his expertise and passion. Nothing is more vital than “Family” in building construction or race teams.

JOHN BRUNNER

Team Manager

Having spent the past 33 years involved in the motorsports Industry, John Brunner joined Abel Motorsports at the conclusion of the 2020 season as team manager and has not looked back since. Brunner has managed teams across multiple open-wheel disciplines, most recently leading Belardi Auto Racing from a small USf2000 operation into a championship winning INDY NXT by Firestone team including multiple wins in the Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and a multiple time Indianapolis 500 entrant. After joining Abel in 2020, Brunner quickly helped the Abel Motorsports organization expand to a multi-car INDY NXT program with their eyes focused on the future.
