Automobile Indy Car – Al Unser Jr. Weighs In On IndyCar Series Drivers

Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr., a consultant and driver coach for the Indy Racing League, shared his insights about IndyCar Series drivers for 2009.

Marco Andretti

“Marco is with a great team. With teammates like Danica (Patrick) and Tony Kanaan, they have the depth to bring Marco a second win. I feel like he really wants to bring another Indy 500 win to the Andretti family that has eluded them for so many years. He’s got the car, he’s got the team, and he’s got the talent. It would be a great thing to see an Andretti win the Indy 500, and Marco has the capability to get that done.”

Stanton Barrett

“Team 3G is a good team. Owen Snyder is the crew chief on that car. He was my crew chief when I won my first Indy 500 and my first national championship. Stanton has a good team, and he seems to catch up on stuff on the car really quick. He comes from a stock car background, so he’s spent most of his life in NASCAR. He uses his head when he drives, he thinks about it. He’s going to run well. He’s a contender for Rookie of the Year. He’ll give Raphael Matos a run for his money.”

“It’s been nerve-racking,” said Gilliland. “We’ve just had to take it week by week and fight hard to get to this point. From here, we only hope it gets a little easier.”

That’s not likely for TRG, an acronym for The Racers Group. Founded by Kevin Buckler, a former sports car driver with an extensive and successful background in that series, the team is fighting an uphill battle in NASCAR’s elite division. They’re racing against multi-car teams with millions of dollars in sponsorship and fully staffed engineering departments.

But fresh off a 1-2 finish in its class at the Rolex 24 sports car race (ninth and 10th overall), TRG put together a Sprint Cup Series team in under two weeks and went to NASCAR’s season-opening Daytona 500 intent on proving to the industry that …  Details
