"It was a great experience" said McNish after completing 350 miles in the car. "I'm pleased to have run speeds that would have been competitive during last March's event, especially as I had the 2003 engine spec and chassis set up on the car."

"At the end of the day I completed a 35 lap stint in which I was consistently lapping between 216 and 218 mph. It's quite a physically and mentally demanding track, but I enjoyed the fast pace and the flow of driving on the oval. The Penske team were extremely supportive and gave me plenty of encouragement. We completed a short test programme as well giving me a chance to run at speed, so overall it was a very productive day. I enjoyed my time in the car and it's fired my enthusiasm - I think it would be fun to experience IRL in race conditions! I must thank everyone at Penske and Toyota for giving me this great opportunity."



sounds like he enjoyed it- i would love to see Allan in the IRL, i think he would do really well.
