Team Cheever, later known as Cheever Racing, was an American open-wheel and sports car racing team founded in 1996 by the driver Eddie Cheever to compete in the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series. It usually fielded a single car for Cheever and occasionally two, mostly for the Indianapolis 500, which it won in 1998 with Cheever driving and owning the entry. The team later switched to Infiniti engines, then Chevrolet and Toyota, and gained Infiniti's first series win before shutting its IRL operation after the Kansas race in 2006 when it could not find a sponsor. It also ran a Daytona Prototype in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and an Indy Pro Series entry.
