John Randal Hildebrand Jr. (born January 3, 1988) is an American race car driver. He last competed in the IndyCar Series driving part-time in the No. 11 Chevrolet for AJ Foyt Enterprises. Hildebrand won the 2009 Indy Lights championship and came close to winning the 2011 Indianapolis 500, hitting the wall on the final corner of the race and crossing the line in second place.
Early career
At the age of 14, Hildebrand started racing go karts in the Jim Russell Arrive and Drive Championship at Infineon Raceway in Northern California; winning not only his first race but the championship that year. In 2003, he raced in the Jr. 80cc Shifter class finishing a close second, and at the end of that year made the transition from karts to cars by winning the Jim Russell Graduate Runoffs; racing in Formula Russell in 2004. That year, he went on to win the series championship; also participating in the Red Bull Driver Search. He then moved up to Pacific F2000 in 2005; finishing second overall as rookie of the year, also being chosen for the Team USA Scholarship, earning him a ride in the Formula Palmer Audi Autumn Trophy, in which he finished third. In 2006, he dominated the U.S. F2000 National Championship; winning the championship and 12 out of 14 races.
In recognition of his impressive 2006 performance, Hildebrand won the Gorsline Scholarship and was elected to the AARWBA All American Auto Racing First Team.

Atlantics and Indy Lights
For 2007, he moved to the Champ Car Atlantic series, driving for Newman Wachs Racing. He finished seventh in points and was the top US rookie in the series. After the season's conclusion he made 2 starts for RLR-Andersen Racing in the Indy Pro Series. Hildebrand then went on to contest the entire series schedule, which was renamed the Firestone Indy Lights Series, for RLR-Andersen in 2008.[http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/ips-hildebrand-joins-rlr-andersen-racing/ Hildebrand Joins RLR/Andersen Racing] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080309220523/http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/ips-hildebrand-joins-rlr-andersen-racing/ |date=March 9, 2008 }}, SpeedTV.com, March 5, 2008 He captured his first series win in the fourth race of the season at Kansas Speedway, his second start on an oval. He finished 5th overall in the 2008 championship.
For the 2009 season he signed with defending championship-winning team AGR-AFS Racing,DiZinno, Tony.

That year he also competed in the final round of the A1 Grand Prix series for A1 Team USA at Brands Hatch, finishing 4th in the Sprint race. He was again elected to the AARWBA All American Auto Racing First Team for 2009.
American Le Mans Series
American Le Mans Series' Genoa Racing signed Hildebrand to race an LMPC class car for 2010. He contested the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Long Beach Grand Prix.
Formula One
Hildebrand spent three days testing for the Force India Formula One team in December 2009, at the Jerez circuit, in a car shared with Paul di Resta.{{cite web | url = http://www.motorracingblog.nl/?p=868 | title = Rookietest Jerez: Analyse dag 1 | date = December 2009 }} MotorRacingBlog.nl{{cite web|url=http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/jr-hillebrand-and-paul-di-resta-test-for-force-india/ |title=Hildebrand and di Resta to test for Force India | joeblogsf1 |publisher=Joesaward.wordpress.com |date=November 24, 2009 |access-date=February 10, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.jrhildebrandracing.com/article.cfm?id%3D130 |title=JR Hildebrand Racing: Hildebrand to Test for Force India F1 Team |access-date=May 30, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723082320/http://www.jrhildebrandracing.com/article.cfm?id=130 |archive-date=July 23, 2011 }}
IndyCar
Hildebrand made his IndyCar Series debut in 2010, competing in two races for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing as a substitute driver for the injured Mike Conway. On Tuesday, December 14, 2010, it was announced that Hildebrand signed a multi–year contract to drive the No. 4 National Guard entry for Panther Racing, starting in 2011 after impressing the team during a test.{{cite web|url=http://www.pantherracing.com/news/index.cfm?cid%3D40736 |title=Panther Racing - News - Panther Signs JR Hildebrand to Multi-Year Contract Agreement for IZOD IndyCar Series |access-date=January 12, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314143952/http://www.pantherracing.com/news/index.cfm?cid=40736 |archive-date=March 14, 2012 }}

Later in 2011, Hildebrand qualified for the Indianapolis 500 and was the most successful rookie during his premiere race. Hildebrand was able to lead at the halfway point for Panther Racing and stayed on the lead lap for the entire race. This allowed him to take a gamble during his last pit stop, stretching out his fuel load to an eventual lead on the final lap. On the very last turn, he slid out of the racing lane and into the retaining wall while passing rapidly slowing Charlie Kimball, allowing Dan Wheldon to take the victory. Despite the damage to his car – including the loss of a wheel – Hildebrand retained enough speed to cross the finish line in second place.
On October 16, 2011, Hildebrand was involved in a 15-car chain-reaction crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the season-ending IZOD IndyCar World Championships. He sustained an injured sternum and was transported by ground ambulance to a Las Vegas area hospital, where he was admitted for treatment. The crash claimed the life of two-time Indy 500 winner and 2005 IndyCar Series champion Dan Wheldon.{{cite news | url = https://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor/indycar/story/2011-10-16/las-vegas-300-dan-wheldon-crash/50795256/1 | title = Dan Wheldon dies in huge crash at IndyCar finale | access-date = October 16, 2011 | work=USA Today | date=October 16, 2011}}{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/racing/indycar/story/_/id/7111712/dan-wheldon-dies-following-indycar-crash-vegas|title=Dan Wheldon dies following IndyCar crash at Vegas|work=ESPN|publisher=ESPN Internet Ventures|date=October 17, 2011|access-date=October 17, 2011}}
Following a last-place finish in the 2013 Indianapolis 500, Hildebrand was released by Panther Racing.{{cite web|url=http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/30/panther-racing-terminates-jr-hildebrands-contract/|title=Panther Racing terminates JR Hildebrand's contract|last=DiZinno|first=Tony|date=May 30, 2013|publisher=NBC Sports|access-date=May 31, 2013}} He had announced earlier in the year that he would be running selected Formula DRIFT races as a teammate to Tyler McQuarrie.{{cite web|url=http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2013/04/10/jr-hildebrand-will-go-drift-racing-later-this-year/|title=JR Hildebrand will go drift racing later this year|last=DiZinno|first=Tony|date=April 10, 2013|publisher=NBC Sports|access-date=May 31, 2013}}

In 2021 Hildebrand drove a specially liveried car for A.J. Foyt Enterprises, commemorating the 60th anniversary of team owner A.J. Foyt's first of four Indianapolis 500 wins. He finished in 15th place.
Pikes Peak Hillclimb
In 2018, Hildebrand competed in the Pikes Peak Hillclimb, driving a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport, finishing 2nd in Porsche Trophy category behind Travis Pastrana.

Personal life
In 2006, Hildebrand graduated from Redwood High School in Larkspur, California as a National Merit Scholar.{{cite news|title=Bay Area native Hildebrand 'looking forward' to being behind the wheel at Sonoma Raceway|work=The San Francisco Examiner|date=23 August 2013|access-date=25 July 2020|url=https://newspapers.com/clip/56027331/|via=Newspapers.com}} While in high school, he also played varsity baseball. He applied and was accepted by several top universities, including the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
