Sparta,KY: Rookie of the Year points leader Felipe Giaffone will start 12th and teammate rookie Ricky Treadway 15th in the Belterra Casino INDY 300 tomorrow from the Kentucky Speedway. Giaffone turned a lap of 210.24 MPH in his #21 Hollywood entry while Treadway ran a 209.39 MPH in the #5 Meijer entry for Treadway-Hubbard Racing.
"We've spent all our time working on race set up this weekend," said Giaffone. "To win you have to have good car for the race. I think the Infiniti's and Ilmor's have us out horse-powered for up front qualifying so we just decided to prepare for the race. We should be good tomorrow. We seem a little slow in straight-line speed, but I think the race will come to me if I continue to be patient."
"It's been a great weekend so far," said Treadway. " The car has been easy to drive and we have accomplished the first of our goals. It has been an unbelievable learning experience. I've turned a lot of laps and been able to run in a lot of traffic. I really am so grateful to Meijer and Coca-Cola for giving me this opportunity. I'm ready for the race and just look forward to making it to the checkered flag."
Giaffone has a 241 to 119 points lead in the rookie of year standings and is currently fourth in overall points standings. The Belterra Casino INDY 300 will be Treadway's first IRL start. The race can be seen Sunday, August 12th at 1:30 p.m. EDT on ABC.
