Gelles Racing Monterrey, Mid-Ohio Saturday notes
Gelles Racing Champ Car Atlantic driver Stephen Simpson will start from second row in Sunday morning 3rd round of the Atlantic Champ Car series held at Fundidora Park in Monterrey, Mexico. The South African was fourth in the second qualifying in his #14 Western Union machine but overall times were faster than his second place of yesterday. His teammate Robbie Pecorari suffered a suspension problem with an off-track excursion and will start a distant 23rd. Meanwhile, the first round of the Formula BMW USA in Mid-Ohio saw four Gelles drivers finish in the Top Ten with Adrian Herberts best of them with a 6th overall. All Gelles racers will race tomorrow with events in Monterrey and Mid-Ohio.
Stephen finally demonstrates how fast he is, said team owner Bob Gelles. I think he will step on the podium tomorrow: his car was very quick today and he missed first row by 0,14 second. He will be in the hunt tomorrow for his first win on a track he likes very much. Robbie struggled all weekend and never found the proper setup with engineer Dave Conti. He will start from the back, but he proved last week in Houston he can come from a long way in traffic.
