Hailing from Norway, Dennis Hauger is a racing prodigy who has been on the path of motorsports since the age of two, when he was given his first ATV. His competitive journey began with motocross at age four and go-karts at five, leading to his first victory at just eight years old. His extraordinary talent was evident early on, as he signed as a factory driver for Italy’s renowned CRG team at the age of 11.

Following a spectacular run in karting, including becoming the youngest-ever champion in the German Kart Championship, Hauger transitioned to formula racing. He captured the Italian F4 title in 2019 and was crowned the FIA Formula 3 Champion in 2021 before moving up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2022.

In 2025, Hauger crossed the Atlantic to take on the INDY NXT series, where he delivered a dominant performance to claim the title with six wins and eight pole positions. By clinching the championship with a massive 72-point lead, he earned the fearsome nickname, "The Norwegian Nightmare."

In 2026, Hauger finally steps up to the pinnacle of American open-wheel racing, the INDYCAR SERIES, with Dale Coyne Racing. Significant expectations surround the young champion as he embarks on his highly anticipated rookie season.
