History
Team Murray is an American-Australian collaboration. Team owner, Brett "Crusher" Murray is an Australian motorsport public relations specialist based on the Gold Coast who has extensive experience in the American open-wheel racing market. Team Murray was operated by KV Racing Technology – a team based in Indiana owned by Australian, Kevin Kalkhoven, 1996 IndyCar World Champion, Jimmy Vasser, and James "Sulli" Sullivan. It operated a one-car operation for Sébastien Bourdais and won the 2013 Indianapolis 500 with Tony Kanaan.
For the 2016 Indianapolis 500, the car was driven by Matthew Brabham, who made history when he placed the Brabham name alongside that of Vukovich and Andretti as the only families to have had three generations start the Indy 500. Matthew's grandfather, Jack Brabham started the 500 on four occasions and his father, Geoff – who finished a best placing of fourth in his 10 attempts. For the 500, the major sponsor for the team was Pirtek.
