Sears Point: James Davison weekend summary

Complex weekend at Sonoma for Davison

Australian Motorsport Foundation International Rising Star James Davison, endured a difficult weekend at Infineon Raceway after being caught up in incidents at the start of both races. With little passing opportunities at the Sonoma circuit, Davison was unable to recover to a finish in the top 10.

Davison started from 17th after being unable to find a balance during qualifying. At the start of Race 1 Davison was forced to slow up to avoid a spinning car and was swamped by a number of competitors, eventually finishing in 14th. Race 2 saw a similar occurrence as Mitch Cunningham flipped in front of Davison leaving no room to pass by. Davison again lost a number of positions and as the race unfolded he was able to drive up to 13th position.

Davison said "This was a weekend to forget. Qualifying did not go to plan and I paid the price for it in the races. In the pre race warm-up we made a good improvement and placed 7th. I will not get down on this and I eagerly look forward to Chicago in 2 weeks time."

The Final Round of the 2008 Firestone Indy Lights Championship will be held at Chicagoland Speedway on September 9th.
