[media-credit name=”milwaukeeindyfest.com” align=”alignright” width=”210″][/media-credit]WEST ALLIS, WI – June 16, 2012 – KV Racing Technology driver Tony Kanaan finished second in today’s rain-delayed Milwaukee IndyFest on the fabledMilwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin.  Teammates E. J. Viso and Rubens Barrichello placed fifth and 10^th respectively.

Kanaan, in the No. 11 GEICO | MOUSER ELECTRONICS – KV Racing Technology Chevrolet/Firestone machine, qualified 10^th, but started sixth afterpenalties were assessed to drivers whose teams had made an unauthorized engine change.  He moved into fifth place on the opening lap and remained there until pitting for the first time on lap 62 of the 225 lap contest.  Kanaan rejoined the race in ninth, where he stayed until his second stop, during a yellow flag on lap 98.  Coming out in eighth, Kanaan held station until lap 154 when he moved into seventh place after Helio Castroneves, who did not pit during the earlier caution period, pitted under green flag conditions.  Kanaan made his final stop on lap 169 and when he came back out had an outstanding first, “out”, lap.  Most of the field pitted over the course of the next four laps and because of the exception “out” lap, Kanaan picked up track position and moved into third place with 50 laps remaining.  He passed Castroneves for second on lap 178 and then began to attack Ryan Hunter-Reay in an attempt to take the lead.  Unfortunately, Hunter-Reay proved to be too strong, holding off every attack, and in the latter stages of the race Hunter-Reay pulled away.

“I am extremely happy, it was a great race,” Kanaan said.  “When the last yellow came out my engineers told me I was good to the end and I was happy to take the second.  It’s a great result for Chevrolet, one, two and three.  I have to thank GEICO and Mouser Electronics as well as my personal sponsors.  My No.11 crew did a great job today and thanks to the Andretti boys for helping us out when I exited my pit box.  The grandstands were packed today and I hope we come back to this track next year, it’s an awesome place”.

Kanaan, made his 13^th appearance at Milwaukee today (ran five races in CART).  He has now finished in the top-10 seven times with two wins (2006 and 2007) and has not placed worse than fourth in six of his last eight starts on the Milwaukee Mile (two wins, a second, a third and two fourths).  The 37-year old Brazilian has finished seven of the eight races this year falling out only in the season opener at St. Petersburg due to a non-team related component failure.  He has earned four top-six finishes, a sixth in Detroit, a third at Indy and a fourth in Long Beach to go with today’s second place performance.  Kanaan earned 40 points today moving him into eighth in the championship race with 200 points, just 74 points behind championship leader Will Power.

Viso, driving the No. 5 CITGO | PDVSA – KV Racing Technology Chevrolet/Firestone car, qualified eighth, but started a season-high tying fifth after moving up the grid as a result of the penalties.  He fell to sixth following the drop of the green flag where he held station until his first stop on lap 67.  Just as Viso entered pit lane for the stop the track went under a caution yellow.  The fortuitous situation vaulted Viso into the lead where he remained for the next 27 laps, his first lead laps of the season, until pitting for the second time on lap 98.  Following the stop Viso came back out in third place with Castroneves, who gambled and stayed out, in the lead and Hunter-Reay second.   Both Hunter-Reay and Viso did not wait for Castroneves to pit, passing the Brazilian on lap 142 and 143 respectively.  Viso, now in second place, stayed there until his final stop on lap 173 and rejoining the race in eighth place.  He remained in eighth for the next 28 laps then took advantage of a restart, following the final caution of the race, to move up three places and take possession of fifth.  Over the next 25 laps he attacked first James Hinchcliffe then Oriol Servia in a valiant attempts to move into fourth place.  However, Hinchcliffe held Viso off using several questionable moves that many observers felt constituted blocking and by the time Viso began to challenge Servia there were simply not enough laps remaining to make the pass and move up.

Viso’s fifth place finish was his best showing in four starts on the Milwaukee Mile surpassing an eighth place performance in 2008.  Today’s performance was Viso best of the season and second best on an oval surpassed only by a third place podium finish in Iowa in 2010.  The 27-year-old Venezuelan has now finished seven of the eight races this year. His only DNF (did not finish) came last week in Texas as a result of a non-team related component failure.  Viso, who has finished in the top-10 three times in the first eight races of the 2012 season (eighth at St. Petersburg and 10^th at Brazil), scored 30 points today and is 14^th in the standings with 148 points, just 25 points out of 10^th place.

Barrichello in the No. 8 BMC | EMBRASE – KV Racing Technology Chevrolet/Firestone entry, qualified a season-high fifth, but started third after the penalties.   He dropped to fourth on the first lap and held position until his first stop on lap 67 when he, like Viso, benefitted from the caution that came out just as he entered pit lane.  The timely yellow flag allowed Barrichello to take over second place where he remained until lap 98 when he pitted for the second time.  Barrichelllo came back out in seventh place, but was back in the top-five, at No. 5, by lap 125.  He took over fourth when Castroneves pitted on lap 154.  Barrichello stopped for the third and final time on lap 172 and rejoined the race in seventh place.  He made several attempts to move up, but ended up falling back three positions over the course of the final laps.

 

Barrichello, who contested just his second career oval race (he did not start in Texas because of a non-team related component failure) and first at Milwaukee, clearly had his best race of the season.  The 40-year-old Brazilian and Formula One veteran was in contention for a top-five, if not podium, finish for much of the race.  He had his fourth top-10 performance of the season (eighth at Barber, ninth at Long Beach and 10^th at Brazil) and scored his first top-10 finish on an oval.   In his only other oval start, his inaugural Indy 500, he finished 11^th earning the Chase Rookie of the Year honors.  Barrichello has now finished six of the eight races this year.  Both his DNFs (did not finish) came as a result of non-team related component failures (at Detroit and Texas). Barrichelllo earned 20 points today and is now 16^th in the championship standings with 138 points, just 35 points out of 10th.

Next up for KVRT is the Iowa Corn Indy 250, June 22-23, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa.  The race will be broadcast live on Saturday, June 23 on NBC starting at 8:00 p.m. ET.

[media-credit name=”milwaukeeindyfest.com” align=”alignright” width=”210″][/media-credit]WEST ALLIS, Wis. (June 16, 2012) – Helio Castroneves’ sixth-place finish led Team Penske’s effort Saturday in the Milwaukee IndyFest at The Milwaukee Mile.

Teammate Will Power held on to the lead in the IZOD IndyCar Series championship race by finishing 12^th In the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Dallara/Chevrolet, while Ryan Briscoe finished 14^th in the No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske machine.

Castroneves led the 225-lap race on two separate occasions for a total of 50 laps around the historic oval in the No. 3 Penske Truck Rental Dallara/Chevrolet – the third highest total among the race leaders on the day. The three-time Indianapolis 500 champion effectively ran a two pit-stop strategy in the race and he is now ranked fifth in the championship standings with 231 points with Saturday’s finish.

“We took a gamble today with the pit strategy in the No. 3 Penske Truck Rentalcar,” said Castroneves. “The car was running really well and we thought we could be aggressive with our plan. We definitely had a car that could win the race today but I am still happy with our result. I will take sixth place and look to do better next week at Iowa.”

Power and Briscoe were both penalized 10 starting grid positions after Friday’s qualifying for changing engines before the race and they were not able to fight through the traffic to get to the front of the field. Power, who has a series-high three wins at the midpoint of the 2012 season, briefly flirted with the top five in the running order before continuing to run just outside the top 10.

“The entire Verizon crew fought hard out there today,” said Power. “I thought we had a pretty good car but the restarts were really difficult.  Not the worst result today, but we expect to do better every time we come to race. We are still on top of the points, which is where we want to be, and now will look forward to Iowa.”

Briscoe, who finished a team-high third last week at Texas Motor Speedway, is now ranked ninth in the standings with 193 points. The 2008 Milwaukee Mile winner spent the majority of the race fighting to overcome imbalances with his car.

“Really tough day out there for the No.2 Hitachi Team Penske car,” said Briscoe. “We completely missed the balance at the start of the race, but by the end of the race we were really strong after we changed the rear wing and aero balance. I think we ended as strong as anyone out there so it was a really positive finish.”

Saturday’s race was won by Ryan Hunter-Reay of Andretti Autosport, representing the sixth winner in eight series races this season.

Team Penske will head to Iowa next Saturday looking to claim its first victory at Iowa Speedway. Live coverage of the Iowa Corn Indy 250 begins June 23 at 10 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports Network.

[media-credit name=”milwaukeeindyfest.com” align=”alignright” width=”210″][/media-credit]MILWAUKEE June 16, 2012—“Tough day,” said Mike Conway after theMilwaukee IndyFest at the Milwaukee Mile Saturday afternoon. However, he and his ABC Supply team hung tough in the demanding 225-lap race in which he started last and finished 16^th.

While Conway’s lap times were competitive with the leaders, he had trouble passing slower cars as the track’s racing groove quickly narrowed to one lane.  On lap 162, Conway went a lap down to eventual winner Ryan Hunter-Reay who set a sizzling pace.

The ABC Supply team’s pit stops went well, with all in the 7 or 8-second bracketrange. Tough Texan Rodney Klausmeyer resumed his duties as fueler despite sustaining burns to his right hand in a pit lane fire during practice last week atTexas Motor Speedway.

“Our race was all about trying to learn as much as we can with the car really and trying to put on a good show for the ABC Supply guys being it was their home race,” Conway said.  “We managed to fight our way up. Restarts were tough and some of the backmarkers were difficult at the end there. I thought I could get Marco [Andretti] at the end but couldn’t quite nip him because of his straight-line speed. I’d be quicker through the corner but then coming out of the corner I couldn’t pass him. That’s a shame because if I could have got past him I would’ve pulled away. We just have to keep fighting and make it better for Iowa.”

After three straight wins by Honda-powered cars, Chevrolet-power took the top six spots. Following Hunter-Reay across the line were: Tony Kanaan, James Hinchcliffe, Oriol Servia, E.J. Viso and Helio Castroneves. Simon Pagenaud was the first Honda-powered car in seventh place.

The race was delayed for two hours as rain began during the pre-race activities, which was a shame for 10-year-old Skylar Stecker who had to sing the national anthem from inside the track’s media center. The granddaughter of ABC Supply’s founder Diane Hendricks still amazed the crowd of 22,000 with her stirring rendition through the track’s big screen video display and audio system. The military troops present (part of the National Guardpresentation as well as the color guard) asked to have their picture taken with the youngster after her performance.

The IZOD IndyCar Series heads to Iowa Speedway this week for Saturday night’s Iowa Corn Indy 250 which will be televised on the NBC Sports Network starting at 8:00 p.m. ET.

[media-credit name=”milwaukeeindyfest.com” align=”alignright” width=”210″][/media-credit]WEST ALLIS, Wis. (June 16, 2012) – Target Chip Ganassi Racing (TCGR) driver Scott Dixon finished 11th in the MilwaukeeIndyFest presented by XYQ at the Milwaukee Mile, while teammate Dario Franchitti finished 19th.

Dixon qualified 11th but started the No. 9 Target Honda 21st as the result of a 10-spot grid penalty for an unapproved engine change prior to the event weekend. He quickly began moving through the field and pitted during a caution on lap 67. While running third and going back to green after a caution on lap 108, Dixon was served a drive-through penalty for passing a car before the green flag on what turned out to be an aborted restart. After serving a penalty, Dixon rejoined the field 17th. He made a routine pit stop on lap 166 and pitted for fresh tiresunder caution on lap 182 to restart 12th with 34 laps to go. The team would eventually finish in the 11th position. Following the race, INDYCAR Race Control acknowledged the mistake in their review process for thepenalty and took full responsibility for it being the wrong call, however, the team was still credited with an 11th-place result.

Franchitti started on the pole of the 225-lap event and led for 63 laps before relinquishing the lead to pit for a right rear tire going down on the No. 10 Cottonelle Honda. He restarted seventh and eventually settled into eighth after a series of cautions and pit stops. Franchitti made a pit stop on lap 169 to rejoin the field 12th. With 34 laps to go, the team made a final stop while under caution for fresh tires. On lap 194, Franchitti made contact with the wall in between Turns 3 and 4 forcing him to retire from the event and was credited with 19th. Just prior to the contact, Franchitti was forced down onto the rumble strips to avoid an incident with another car who came down on him.

With the results, Dixon drops to third in the IZOD IndyCar Series point standings with 239 points, -35 points behind leader Will Power. Franchitti drops to seventh in the standings with 205 points, -69 behind Power.

Honda remains in second in the manufacturer point standings with 63 points, six markers behind Chevrolet. Lotus remains third with 32 points.

Team Target heads to the Iowa Corn Indy 250 at Iowa Speedway for Round 9 with the IZOD IndyCar Series on June 23 at 10:00 PM ET on NBS Sports Network.

NOTES

– Franchitti earned his second pole at Milwaukee and his 27th overall in Indy car racing.
– Franchitti led 63 laps at the event.

TCGR Quoteboard:

Scott Dixon: “I really don’t know what happened on the restart where we got penalized. I think the one they waved off was the one we got out of line when EJ Viso was trying to restart at only 20 mph. I was in first gear and when it went green, I went. I don’t know what the issue was but I’m really looking forward to the explanation from INDYCAR. It’s a shame for the Target team and that punishment is pretty harsh.”

Dario Franchitti: “I was on Ryan Briscoe’s inside and he just kept coming down there. I just don’t think his spotter told him I was there. I had half a car on the rumble strip. The next lap I went in there and something broke in the back end of the car. The spine just snapped down. You actually see the car drop in the back there before it hit so I think the suspension broke. The Cottonelle car was not very good today unfortunately but we were making the best of it.”

 

Beaux Barfield, INDYCAR Race Director: “Due to a glitch in technology, there was a discrepancy between the official race clock and the clock on the replay machine. Therefore the review of the jumped start was one lap off, leading Race Control to make the call on the wrong lap. We have informed the Ganassi team of this error and Race Control is taking every step necessary to address it going forward. The Race Control team will be meeting first thing Monday morning to review the issue and explore remedies in advance of the race at Iowa.”

Langley Speedway

[media-credit name=”hometracks.nascar.com” align=”alignright” width=”350″][/media-credit]CORNELIUS, N.C. — Travis Pastrana’s accident at last July’s X Games forced the action sports star to miss his much anticipated NASCAR Nationwide debut at Indianapolis and cancel his entire 2011 NASCAR schedule.

As he recovered from his shattered right ankle at his Maryland home, the 11-time X Games gold medalist realized he was falling behind on his NASCAR schedule before he even started.

That’s when iRacing stepped in.

IRacing.com, the world’s leading online motorsports service, supplied Pastrana with one of its state-of-the-art simulation machines. With its laser-scanned tracks and cars, the online motorsports simulation site served as a vital tool in preparing Pastrana for his 2012 NASCAR races. Not only did Pastrana practice on his own, but he also raced with fellow iRacers.

Pastrana has been successful in every form of motorsports he’s tried—from motocross and supercross to Rally. But he’s well aware of the challenges ahead of him as he transitions to the top ranks of stock car racing. He knows iRacing has and will be a vital tool in his success.

PASTRANA QUOTES

ON iRACING: “I am on my iRacing machine as much as I can. It’s amazing how real the tracks and the racing are. The iRacing simulation machine is a tremendous amount of help for me. It lets me take some laps on a track I have never seen before. My big problem is I don’t know how to get the cars set up for each track. I am constantly calling Mike Greci (crew chief) and asking him for advice. Normally, it takes about 30 minutes and a few calls to get the car pretty close to perfect. The sim machine isn’t exactly like being behind the wheel of a race car, but it’s pretty close.”

NOTES OF INTEREST

· East Race TV Coverage: Saturday’s race will air June 28 on SPEED at 3 p.m. ET.

· Pit Box: Longtime crew chief Mike Greci will serve as Pastrana’s crew chief this season.

· Testing: Pastrana tested the K&N Pro Series East Toyota at Langley on June 15th.

· Lights, Camera, Action: Pastrana’s Nitro Circus The Movie 3-D will be released August 10. The movie has plenty of NASCAR references. Pastrana199 Racing prepared the school bus that jumped more than 150 feet in the opening scenes. To watch the trailer: Click Here

[media-credit name=”ARCA Racing Network” align=”alignright” width=”175″][/media-credit]Brooklyn, MI. (June 17, 2012) – The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards christened the new asphalt on the two mile oval in Michigan, and saw competitors battle tire issues, while Frank Kimmel persevered to a 7th place finish. For the second straight week, Kimmel and the Ansell/Menards Toyota team have been plagued by tire woes, but continued to drive towards the top of the championship standings.

After qualifying eighth, Kimmel gained positions from the initial green flag, dodging the frequent incidents throughout the early stages. With extreme tire wear on the forefront of the competitors’ minds, Kimmel cautiously approached the event’s first fuel run. On lap 29, Kimmel brought his Toyota to pit road for four tires and a track bar adjustment. Left side tire wear was found to be excessive, and crew chief Jeriod Prince proceeded to employ a cautious strategy to preserve tires.

On the following restart, Kimmel moved to sixth by lap 37. Four laps later, Kimmel reported a bad vibration and found a friendly caution flag two laps later at lap 43. Kimmel radioed the team and reported the only way to find more speed in the car would be to solve his tire issues, which plagued most other competitors. Under the yellow, Prince and team serviced Kimmel with four fresh tires, and discovered right side tires “chunking” and blistering.

After leaving pit road tenth, Kimmel moved to ninth following the lap 50 restart and was pleased with the car’s handling during the subsequent laps. By lap 60, front running competitors began blowing out tires while Kimmel maintained a steady pace conserving tires. At lap 65, Kimmel found himself fifth, and one of the few front runners keeping all four tires underneath the racecar. Kimmel reported another vibration at lap 75, and moved into the top three two laps later, but pitting for tires shortly after. An ill timed caution flag soon followed on lap 82, and caught Kimmel one lap down to the race leaders.

Bad luck continued under the yellow flag when Kimmel was forced to pit for a second time during the caution period for another flat tire. With 11 laps to go, Kimmel restarted 7th racing in the Lucky Dog position fighting through an additional vibration. Kimmel ran the final eight circuits of the event preserving his position, and tires, driving to a 7th place finish. It marked his sixth consecutive top ten finish of the season and moved him to 3rd in the series championship standings.

“It’s frustrating to have to race so conservatively and take care of tires all race long”, Kimmel said. “I felt like we had a lot better Toyota than what we were able to show. But, like last week, we tried to make the most of the situation and got a respectable finish. It’s nice to move up in the standings again, and we’ll keep working and try to run better each week.”

[media-credit name=”ARCA Racing Network” align=”alignright” width=”175″][/media-credit]BROOKLYN, Michigan (June 16, 2012) – – Without a doubt, Chad Hackenbracht and his CGH Motorsports team had high hopes for Friday’s RainEater Wiper Blades 200 at Michigan International Speedway (MIS). Unfortunately, the team would be snagged in series of setbacks which would keep the No. 58 Michigan Apples Chevrolet Impala from a finish it was well capable of.

Known for their speed and consistency throughout the 2012 ARCA Racing Series season, the family-owned team continued to show that same hand during practice on Thursday afternoon. However, in the final minutes of practice Hackenbracht’s machine broke loose in turn four slapping the wall and forcing the team to a back-up automobile for the eighth race of the season.

Better to be safe than sorry, the team led by veteran crew chief Kevin Reed elected to forgo their placement in Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell to adequately make sure their automobile was pieced properly together for the highly anticipated race on the two-mile oval.

Starting the 100-lap event from the 31st position, the No. 58 Michigan Apples car was on a tear when the green flag waived, passing cars left and right. However, Hackenbracht’s momentum would be stalled on lap two when Nelson Canache Jr. lost control of his automobile in turn four.   Initially under the yellow, Reed brought his driver to pit lane for fuel and a major shock adjustment hoping to aid the CGH Motorsports team in the later stages of the race. It was under the same caution period though that the team’s day took its traumatic turn.

While idling under caution speed, Hackenbracht’s machine shut off initially sparking the driver to switch ignition boxes hoping to refire his machine. The driver’s effort though was unsuccessful and with his racecar coasting on the backstretch, the 20-year old would have to rely on assistance from the safety workers, where they would have to push his machine back to pit road where the defying problem would be diagnosed as a failure with the cable in the fuel pump which caused zero fuel pressure to the engine forcing the seizure.

Despite losing several laps to the leaders, the team persevered and corrected the problem and sent their driver back into competition to gain valuable positions on the track that would ultimately lead to crucial points obtained by finishing the race in the 21st position.

“Obviously, this was not the day or the weekend that we had hoped for,” said Hackenbracht, a native of New Philadelphia, Ohio. “However, I am extremely proud of the entire job the CGH Motorsports team for their work on the primary and backup cars. I don’t think we could have predicted the problem with the fuel pump; it’s just one of those things. It stinks, because I know we had a car capable of running and finishing in the top-10. We were hoping to give the fans some excitement with our rally from the back to the front with our on-board camera, but it just wasn’t meant to be. We also let some points escape for sure too, but there’s still a long way to go in the year and this is a strong team with a lot of desire and we’ll bounce back at Winchester next weekend, you’ll see.”

The finish on Friday afternoon dropped the team from third to fifth in the ARCA Racing Series championship standings with 12 races remaining. Unofficially, 145 points separate Hackenbracht from first still retained by Brennan Poole.

Next up for the 60th ARCA anniversary tour is a trip to Winchester, Indiana for the running of the Herr’s Chase The Taste 200 at Winchester (Ind.) Speedway set for Sunday, June 24. The event will not be televised but race coverage will be available through the ARCA Racing Network online at ARCARacing.com.
