Career

Born to an American father and an Italian mother, Antinucci competed in the British Formula Ford series in 1998 for Haywood Racing, moving to the British Formula Renault Winter Series in 1999 and to Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup in 2000, where he stayed for one season (although he drove two fill-in races in 2001).

In a bad-tempered 2002 season, Antinucci moved to the Manor Motorsport team in British Formula 3, leaving them in 2003 for the Carlin team in the same series. Mid-season he changed to the rival Promatecme team, although he did not stay there long as he moved to Japanese Formula Three for the 2004 season.

Antinucci moved to the Formula Three Euroseries for 2005, and although finishing nineteenth overall in his first season, in 2006 he took several race wins on his way to fifth in the championship, and second place at the end of season Macau Grand Prix, starting from fifteenth on the grid.

Antinucci drove in the Indy Pro Series in 2007 for Cheever Racing, driving for his uncle Eddie Cheever. Antinucci captured two wins and finished fifteenth in points despite only racing in the road course events, which accounted for nine of the sixteen races on the schedule. He signed with defending championship-winning team Sam Schmidt Motorsports for 2008. Antinucci won two races and was the runner-up to champion Raphael Matos at season end by 32 points.

Antinucci made his IndyCar Series debut on July 5, 2009, driving for Team 3G at Watkins Glen International.
