The important stuff Ryan Briscoe returns
to the IndyCar Series after a two-year hiatus
in which he’s proven to be one of the world’s
most versatile drivers. In 2006, he scored
podiums in the IndyCarSeries, Grand-Am and
A1GP, before switching to RogerPenske’s
ALMS squad for’07. Two overallwins there
(three in class) and a fifth place forLuczo
Dragon Racing in the Indy 500 earned him his
call from the “The Captain.”
This just in One of his favorite racetracks is
the Watkins Glen road course, which is
where he scored his best IndyCar Series
finish – third in 2006, for
Dreyer & Reinbold

2007 Finished third in the IndyCar Series
championship, with five wins and seven
other top-five placings.
The important stuff Regarded as AGR’s
lead driver, father figure and talisman, only
misfortune at a couple of rounds in the
first half of 2007 rendered TK an
outsider for the title toward season’s end:
his second half was as strong as
anyone’s. Consequently, one of the
strong favorites for reclaiming the
crown he wore in 2004.
This just in In the off-season,
Kanaan, along with teammates,
including F1 racer Rubens
Barrichello, won Brazil’s
legendary Granja Viana 500
kart race.

2007 Busy year. Won the Bombardier
Rookie of the Year honors, as well as racing
Grand-Am and A1GP cars.
The important stuff Last year Ryan
Hunter-Reay came into the IndyCar Series
with just six rounds left to go. But with
three top-10 finishes and four top-10 grid
slots, he was quickly up to speed. Mind
you, this is a guy who, in the Champ Car
World Series, proved he could win on ovals
and street courses. Expect him to fight for
wins in 2008.
This just in Hunter-Reay will forever hold
the record for the most laps led in a Champ
Car race – all 250 of them at the
Milwaukee Mile in 2004.
