Tony Lee Bettenhausen Jr.
(October 30, 1951 – February 14, 2000) was a Champ Car team owner and driver who died in a 2000 plane crash.
He was the son of former 14-time Indianapolis 500 competitor Tony Bettenhausen and the brother of 21-time Indy racer Gary Bettenhausen.
The family holds the dubious distinction of the most combined starts in the famous race without a victory.
Another brother, Merle Bettenhausen, was maimed in his only Indy Car start.
