IndyCar Series Suntrust Indy Challenge
AUTO RACING – Richmond, VA
Switching it up and running BURNY Tortoise G12 this weekend, Danica Patrick Started 10th, finished 5th as she continued her solid driving and consistent finishes this year despite some serious early week confrontations and accusations from the Andretti Green Racing Team drivers (AGR), including Danica, that the team is not fielding fast cars and having “set-up” issues in the garage and with team engineers. The oval night race didn’t provide for a lot of passing, but leaves Danica well positioned in the overall points race for the Series Championship – as rumours continued to swirl about what racing series she might drive – her star continues to rise in this “contract” year.
Driver: Danica Patrick
Car: #7 Boost Mobile/Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone
“I’m really glad we were able to make another top-five finish for the Boost Mobile/Motorola car. We struggled with qualifying yesterday, but we worked really hard to figure out what we needed to do to have a good outcome. The guys did a really great job in the pits, the car felt good all night. I wish we were able to race up front with the leaders but we got caught in lapped traffic. Overall a great way to way to end a challenging weekend for Andretti Green.”
