Is this a new American prospect that can actually drive the car?! I'm surprised none of you have mentioned anything about him yet. He did lead for a while! And wow, a 4th place finish in his first start!
He seems to have a lot of his uncle in him....just drive around for the first 400 miles or so and be there at the end. Good job for sure! Looks like I might have someone to root for when Mikey retires. AR |

An excellent run for a guy in his first race in a Champ Car - and I would say that were he American, Brazilian or Martian. He's a good pilot and I hope he gets a permanent drive next year.
Well run, Casey! |

Although he ran in last place for most of the race, he did prove his worth by keeping the car on the lead lap and in one piece. Hopefully we will be seeing more of this oung man.

Even though Casey benefitted from retirements, one of the reasons why he was still running at the end was due to his patience in a 500 mile race. Apparently, he listened to the advice givent to him by Uncle Rick. Stay out of trouble and save the equipment for the end. Great job!! I can't imagine this track, where speeds are tremendously high, being a place for a rookie to start their first CART race. I would have been p!ss!n my pants but hung in there and did a great job. Way to go Casey!!. The Mighty Casey!

Well done Casey. Many of the fancied runners couldn't do what you did. Finish

both casey and alex barron did professional jobs at fontana.
but the race was joke, thanks to the engines manufactures. thanks to the cart officials, it wasn't a true 500 mile race, and yet more then dozen engines expired. cart really has to give a second thought to making their last race nothing but long boring endurance run. |
