The Racers were started by the owners of the ABA's Indiana Pacers, began play in 1974 and played at Market Square Arena. Jacques Demers coached them to the Eastern Division title in 1975-76, and in 1978 owner Nelson Skalbania signed a 17-year-old Wayne Gretzky, who played eight games before his contract was sold to Edmonton. Mark Messier, also 17, started his pro career with the Racers that season, and the team folded in December 1978.
