      History


      On August 16, 2014, NBCSN journalist Robin Miller reported that Ed Carpenter would merge his team with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing, whom he had raced for in 2011; the two teams officially announced the merger at the Milwaukee Mile a week later. The next day, SFHR driver Josef Newgarden was re-signed to a one-year extension to race with CFH. On August 27, the team announced they would run with Chevrolet engines, and a month later, Carpenter confirmed Fuzzy's Award Winning Vodka would follow the team to sponsor the 20. The team made its debut with Carpenter driving in testing for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company at Indianapolis Motor Speedway from September 23–24, followed by a session at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with Newgarden and Mike Conway.
      On January 30, 2015, Luca Filippi was hired by the team to contest the road and street circuits. On February 23, Newgarden acquired sponsorship from Century 21 Real Estate for the Indianapolis 500, and his number was changed from No. 67 to No. 21 for the race. On April 7, J. R. Hildebrand was hired to race in the two Indianapolis races with the No. 6 car.
      On January 28, 2016, dropping oil prices forced Hartman to withdraw from IndyCar. Afterwards, Fisher withdrew as well, and the team was rebranded back to Ed Carpenter Racing after just one season.
