Helio Castroneves drive for Penske since 2000!

Has someone a top-ten list of the most races from drivers for one team?

Mario Andretti drove 12 years and (I think) 185 races for Newman-Haas - likely, #1.

Well, Rick Mears made (I think) 190 races in 15 years for Penske!

Anthony Joseph though was unlikely to be sacked from that team. Conversley he was not looking for a faster car or more money either.

Franchitti drove for the same team from 1998-2007 through a couple of different series. 165 races and could have been more if he hadn't fallen of his bike in 2003.

Jimmy Vasser always drove for Ganassi for as long as I followed the sport, except for the first couple of years. I see he is listed with 238 starts these days, but I really don't know about his later years.

Six seasons at Ganassi, followed by one year each at Patrick, Rahal, and American Spirit Team Johansson, and finally two years (plus two final races) with PKV.

I don't know about that. AJ can be a pretty difficult person to deal with. It wouldn't surprise me if he fell out with himself and canned his own ass. Probably after a bit of fisticuffs.
