April 04, 2012 | By Tom Surber Nine teams jump‐started their preparation for the 96th Indianapolis 500 by testing the new IZOD IndyCar Series car Wednesday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Participating teams and the INDYCAR engine group gathered data regarding handling characteristics and performance levels from their Chevrolet and Honda‐powered cars. One car/driver combination from each team was invited to participate. Driving Chevrolet‐powered 2.2‐liter, twin‐ turbocharged V‐6 engines in their Dallara chassis were Ed Carpenter (Ed Carpenter Racing), Tony Kanaan (KV Racing Technology), Marco Andretti (Andretti Autosport), JR Hildebrand (Panther Racing) and Helio Castroneves (Team Penske). Driving Honda‐powered cars were Scott Dixon (Target Chip Ganassi Racing), Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing), Mike Conway (A.J. Foyt Racing) and Justin Wilson (Dale Coyne Racing).

The new IZOD IndyCar Series car will make its competitive oval debut Sunday, May 27 at the 96th Indianapolis 500. Quotes from selected participants during the midday media availability: TONY KANAAN (No. 11 GEICO/Mouser Electronics KVRT w/ SH Dallara/Chevrolet) Q: What was it like out there?

    Happy Birthday to The Custom Companies, Inc. QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY It was a typical Tuesday afternoon for Mr. Perry Mandera or at least I assumed as much having spoken with his assistant Rosemary several times. He was much in demand and running slightly behind. I’m not complaining, such time constraints are to be expected with the president of a thriv- ing company in addition to his role as husband, father and involved member of the community. I learned all of this before uttering a word to him. All you have to do is sit in the lobby of The Custom Companies office to learn some basic background Information. The coffee table offers you photo albums that span several years of company events. The walls feature plaques given to his com- pany for participating in fundraising events and charities. I must admit, even the gumball machine looked appealing to me. It was not too long before I was informed about his latest undertaking. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” he said “I was in a meeting regarding a facility we are considering for this years move.” The issue here is space to grow. He then forged right ahead and started to speak about image. “We are very concerned with appearance, which you probably would not expect from a Transportation Company.” No, I admitted I was surprised and impressed with the offices. “Quality is the image that we hope to convey with our black and gold theme. Most trucks on the road don’t look like ours.” I questioned custom- ers interpretation of this look; didn’t it appear expensive? “Our prices speak for themselves,” he replied, “and every dollar of profit goes back into the company.” For instance, a new half million dollar computer system.

  • Foundation Corner... Kevin
    volume ten | issue three | september 2010 A word from Kevin... Hello, To say the summer has flown by is a huge understatement. It seems like only yesterday we were rolling into Daytona to start the 2010 season, and now we’re getting ready to start the Chase for the Championship. I’m happy to say that not only did we qualify for the Chase this year, but we clinched our spot four races early with a win in Michigan. I always look forward to the races that fall during the summer stretch because they tend to be some of the better ones for me and the 29 team, and this season has been no exception. We were able to win races at Daytona and Michigan and record seven top-five and eight top-10 finishes. Consistency, paired with fast race cars, has been the key to the 29 team’s success this year, and it has enabled me to lead the points for the longest consecutive span in my Cup career. I feel as ready and as confident as I ever have going into the Chase. We’ve shown we can contend for the championship; we just have to go out there and do it. Our game plan for the last 10 races is “business as usual” because that’s what got us here. I’m also pretty excited about our recent announcement that Budweiser will be my sponsor on the 29 starting in 2011. Budweiser is one of the most respected sponsors in our sport, with such a rich history, and I’m really proud that I get to add my name to the list of drivers who have represented them starting next year.

    2011 INDIANAPOLIS 500 DAILY TRACKSIDE REPORTS AND DAILY NEWS ARTICLES 1 Indy 500 is first phase of Mann's pursuits By Dave Lewandowski May 12, 2011 While Midwesterners were completing lunch, Pippa Mann dutifully completed the paperwork for engineers and exited the stuffy conference room with a broad smile. An hour earlier, she systematically completed all four phases of the indianapolis 500 Rookie Orientation Program and exited the confines of the No. 36 Conquest Racing car with a broad smile. “I really enjoyed it. It surprised me how difficult it was to stay within the limits that were set, especially toward the end when we put on our second set of tires,” said Mann, who seeks to make her IZOD IndyCar Series debut in the 100th anniversary Indianapolis 500 on May 29. “I went out there and got into a rhythm really quickly because the new tires have so much grip, but was told to back it down a little. We completed all 35 laps of ROP in 35 laps so the boss (team owner Eric Bachelart) is happy. “It was a good first day, and now we can spend some time on the car and spend some time on my fit to get at it Saturday.” That’s Opening Day at the Speedway, when the seven ROP participants will be joined on the 2.5-mile ribbon of asphalt by any/all entrants for a practice session from noon-6 p.m. (ET). The day includes other fan events, including autograph sessions with Parnelli Jones and Danny Sullivan. All the ROP participants -- JR Hildebrand (National Guard Panther Racing), James Hinchcliffe (Newman/Haas Racing), Charlie Kimball (Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing), Ho-Pin Tung (Schmidt Dragon Racing), James Jakes (Dale Coyne Racing), Scott Speed (Dragon Racing) and Mann – completed at least three phases of the exercise.
