Race Reportreport RaceRace ReportReport Argent Mortgage Indy 300 - Kansas Speedway — July 4, 2004 RICE, MEIRA LEAD RAHAL LETTERMAN RACING 1-2 FINISH IN ARGENT INDY 300 WITH 2ND CLOSEST FINISH IN IRL HISTORY Pioneer/Argent Honda Nips Centrix Honda By .0051 seconds Sunday In Superb Race With Teammates KANSAS CITY , KAN. — It was the greatest race in Rahal Letterman Racing history and only one guy knew who won while some 55,000 other witnesses weren’t sure Sunday in the Argent Mortgage Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway. That one guy just happened to be the winner as he raised his fist after crossing the finish line. Buddy Rice seemed to be the only one who knew that his No. 15 Pioneer/Argent Mort- gage Honda G-Force had nipped his team- mate Vitor Meira’s No. 17 Team Centrix Honda G-Force at the checkered flag in one of the greatest side-by-side finishes ever. It took a few seconds before the Rahal Let- terman Racing crews and the screaming racing fans knew who was the winner Sun- day in the second closest IRL IndyCar® Series finish ever, just 0.0051 seconds separated the teammates in a spectacular duel that had the fans and the pit lane on their feet for the final 14 laps. The 1-2 finish for the Ohio-based racing squad was only the second time the team had collected the top two posi- tion in an open-wheel race. The other 1-2 finish for Rahal Letterman Racing came on Sept. 15, 2001 in Germany in the Champ Car event when Kenny Brack and Max Papis scored the first and second place finishes. Sunday’s 200-lap wasn’t as wild for Rice and Meira as the finish but a superb job by the team’s engineers and crew members kept Buddy and Vitor right in the fight all day. In fact, Rice led the most laps with 83 while Meira ran first on 37 circuits. Series point leader Tony Kanaan, who finished third, led at the start with Rice and Meira right on his tail but Meira looked to have a car to win Sunday. After the first set of pit stops, Vitor took the Centrix Honda to the front and held a six second margin. But on Meira’s second pit stop on lap 107, the per- sonable Brazilian stalled his machine and had to enter the race eighth place. Argent Mortgage Indy 300 (200 laps) Vitor drove through the field to run se- 1. BUDDY RICE (Hon) cord to Rice on lap 162. On Lap 175, 2. VITOR MEIRA (Hon) the yellow flew for a crash with Jeff 3. Tony Kanaan (Hon) Simmons and Kosuke Matsuura and set up the dramatic shootout between the 4. Dario Franchitti (Hon) teammates. The green flag came out on 5. Bryan Herta (Hon) 186 and it was a side-by-side battle for 6. Adrian Fernandez (Hon) the win. Rice led laps 191, 193, 194, 7. Helio Castroneves (Toy) 196, 197, 198 and 200 while Meira led 8. Sam Hornish Jr. (Toy) 192, 195 and 199 in their incredible duel. 9. Dan Wheldon (Hon) And the finish was too close to call with 10. Alex Barron (Chv) Buddy just .0051 seconds ahead. Page 2, Rahal Letterman Racing, Kansas Argent Mortgage Indy 300 BUDDY RICE: “This is a great day for Rahal Date: July 3-4, 2004 Letterman Racing. I knew Vitor was there the Location: Kansas Speedway whole time but I thought I got him right at the Kansas City, Kan. line. He had me at the line on the white flag lap Track Type: 1.5 mile, high banked oval but I stayed on my line on the track and it was Race: Round 7 of 16 Races the shortest distance to the checkered flag. The (IRL IndyCar® Series) car was very good all day and I knew that Vitor 200 laps, 300 miles had my similar setup so he was going to be Past Winners: Eddie Cheever, 2001; Airton Dare, tough too.

I’m very happy to win this race for Argent Mort- IRL Broadcasts gage. Having their car win at their race is super Television: ABC-TV Live exciting and it pumps them up a lot for the rest Radio: Indy Racing Network Live of the year. This is great for the team overall. Internet: Indyracing.com Wow, to finish one-two is a great accomplish- ment.” VITOR MEIRA:“I didn’t know who won. It was so close. But I’ll take second to Buddy because it was a total team effort by Rahal Letterman Racing. I knew Buddy would stay on the low groove and I had to use the high line. It was good for me but I knew the kind of car that Buddy had since it was the same as mine. The stall (on the second pit stop) hurt me because I had to come through the field to get to the lead. But my Cen- trix car was great and Ray (Leto, Meira’s engineer) gave me a superb setup for the race. I thought I had a car to win it today but Buddy did too. This team is really good and they have given me a tremendous opportunity to race a strong car. I think we are going to win one of these races soon. I guess I couldn’t get much closer.” BOBBY RAHAL: “As a team owner, you can’t asked for anything better than that finish. It was fanastic and I thought Vitor had actually won the race. But you could tell their cars were almost identical because they were side-by-side for so long. This is a great 1-2 finish for our team. Buddy and Vitor was magnificent today as was everyone on the team. I’m very proud of the whole group today. It doesn’t get much better than this. What a day!” RACE NOTES: Meira recorded seven of the ten fastest race laps Sunday… Rice jumped to third in the points with Meira now tenth as the series moves to Nashville on July 17… The race speed was 177.183 m.p.h.

  • The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500
    The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Robert W. White Department of Sociology and Andrew J. Baker Department of Geography School of Liberal Arts IUPUI We thank Terri Talbert-Hatch and Pete Hylton for their comments and support of Motorsports Studies. Please direct correspondence to Robert White ([email protected]), Professor of Sociology and Director of Motorsports Studies, or Andrew Baker ([email protected]), Lecturer, Department of Geography, School of Liberal Arts, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 425 University Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46202. 1 The Indy Racing League and the Indianapolis 500: Increasing Competition in Open-Wheeled Automobile Racing in the United States Abstract Over the course of its lengthy history, the popularity of open-wheeled automobile racing in the United States has waxed and waned. This is especially evident in recent years. The 1996 “split” between the Indy Racing League (IRL; later, the IndyCar Series) and Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART; later the Champ Car World Series) severely hurt the sport. Following the split there was a well-documented decline in fan interest from which the sport has not recovered. Less understood, however, is that under the Indy Racing League the Indianapolis 500, the premier event in open-wheeled racing in the United States, became more competitive. Ironically, while fan interest decreased in the Indy Racing League era, the quality of racing increased. The increased competition associated with the Indy Racing League is a historically significant development that bodes well for the future of the sport.

  • Mouser and Molex-Sponsored Driver Bourdais Scores Second Consecutive Fast 9 Start at Legendary Indy 500
    US Headquarters 1000 N. Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser and Molex-Sponsored Driver Bourdais Scores Second Consecutive Fast 9 Start at Legendary Indy 500 May 23, 2019 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. will be rooting for Sebastien Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team as they put their grit and bold strategy to the test at the 103rd running of the famed Indianapolis 500 on May 26. In qualifications, Bourdais pushed the Mouser-sponsored No. 18 car to earn a spot in the Fast Nine shootout, where he averaged 228.621 miles per hour to move up to a seventh-position start at Sunday’s race. Mouser is proud to again team up with valued supplier Molex to sponsor Bourdais and the Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan team for the 2019 NTT IndyCar Series. The Mouser- and Molex-sponsored car won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013, with Tony Kanaan behind the wheel. The global electronic component distributor first sponsored IndyCar racing in 2011 as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies. Behind the wheel of the Mouser- and Molex-sponsored No. 18 car, Bourdais has two top-five finishes in just five races so far this season, earning him the No. 8 spot on the points standings. The four-time Indy CART champion is just 21 points out of the top five, and Indy 500’s double points system could be just the boost he needs. After the Indianapolis 500, the series travels to Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix doubleheader on June 1 and 2, DXC Technology 600 at Texas Motor Speedway on June 8, plus seven more races before ending the season at the Grand Prix of Monterey on September 22.

    Contact: Adam Saal Matthew Simmons Bill Klingbeil SRT Motorsports - Nationwide Race Recap - Road America Trouble-free Day Gives Hornish Fifth Place Finish at Road America Villeneuve Leads Early, Ends Up Sixth at America’s ‘National Park of Speed’ June 22, 2012, Elkhart Lake, Wisc. - Sam Hornish Jr. stayed out of trouble and kept all four wheels on the road – literally – to score a fifth-place finish in the Sargento 200 at Road America Saturday afternoon. Hornish grabbed his third top five of the season and chopped 11 points off Elliott Sadler’s lead in the Nationwide Series championship standings. He now trails Sadler by 34 points entering next week’s event at Kentucky Speedway. Hornish led once in the race for three laps. The driver of the No. 12 Alliance Truck Parts Dodge said he had a simple strategy entering the weekend’s event at the 4.048-mile road course, a track known for chaotic racing. “We were just trying to be smart,” Hornish said. “My goal for the weekend was to make sure that we weren’t sitting in any sand traps. I’m really happy about that and to be able to pass some really good road racers there towards the end, I feel like it was pretty good. There were some guys running into each other on the last lap and I did everything I could do to try to stay out of that.” The strategy worked, despite the fact Hornish was involved in a rambunctious five-car battle for fourth-place in the closing laps featuring Max Papis, Danica Patrick, Brian Scott and his Penske Racing teammate for the weekend, Jacques Villeneuve.
