 INITIAL STREET RACE - A 1-4 SWEEP - STANDS OUT

September 1, 2010 (via IndyCar.com) – With four (and occasionally five) drivers competing for Andretti Autosport, it’s understandable if Michael Andretti might be hard-pressed to select one event that stands out in eight seasons of IZOD IndyCar Series competition.

 

But the former Indy car racing champion is up to the task (after a brief grace period for deliberation).

 

“Although it is tough to say that anything would be bigger than winning our first Indy 500 in 2005, I actually think the sweep at St. Pete earlier that year is biggest in my mind,” Andretti said of the inaugural IZOD IndyCar Series street circuit race. “It was the first race we ever promoted, we won the pole and the race with Marco (Andretti) in Firestone Indy Lights, we won the pole with Bryan (Herta), the race with Dan (Wheldon) and we swept the top four spots in IndyCar.

 

“The odds of something like that happening to you; the deck is really stacked against you." [READ MORE]

August 26, 2010 (Indianapolis) Planters, Kraft Foods’ longtime leader in the salted snacks category, will take its place alongside 7-Eleven this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway as the primary sponsor of the #11 car driven by 2004 IZOD IndyCar Series champion Tony Kanaan.

 

The car, which traditionally features a familiar green-and-white paint scheme, will sport a new blue-and-white livery during the weekend as part of a larger Planters marketing activation.
