It took almost five months to secure his first victory to him, in this occasion even was on the verge of losing it after traumatic a last halting in pits, but this time eternal the bad luck left luckyly it.
Takings Scheckter, the son of the legendary Jody Scheckter, secured his first victory of Indy Racing League in an exciting race disputed in the superoval of Michigan.
The South African had not begun with the right foot in the category. He touched himself with his coequiper and owner of the equipment Eddie Cheever Jr in the first race of Miami, and soon he added one long list of accidents when he was closely together to obtain the triumph. The most remembered he was in the 500 miles from Indianapolis to very little of the end. The last one in Nashville when he was the great candidate to the triumph and finished against the wall after a misunderstanding with his Cheever landlord.
After this misunderstanding, that included an heated discussion between both, Scheckter had a foot outside the square. Even, already Buddy Rice had been made position of the place of Takings. But at last moment the equipment decided to give to him to the car muleto to the South African so that it has his last opportunity. “Tommy” did not fail to take advantage of it.
The equipment Red Bull Cheever Racing dominated the complete day in Michigan. The equipment placed to the three machines in the three first places during the classification. Scheckter takings, the newcomer Buddy Rice and Eddie Cheever Jr.
Of entrance it was demonstrated that the cars equipped with Infiniti motors were the machines to win. Scheckter dominated during all the race, followed of its companion Buddy Rice. This last, ex- champion of the Atlantic series, became position of the car #53 with which Max Papis in the 500 miles of Indianapolis competed. He did it to the South African on board #52.
The spectacle that offered the IRL during the 400 miles was not apt for cardiac. The ambles occurred to every second demonstrating a fascinating parity between all the machines of the park.
When Scheckter seemed to have guaranteed the race happened the unexpected thing. In its last resupply its car paused losing more than twenty seconds. Takings maintained the calm and returned to track with the blood in the eye.
To little returns of the end the last yellow flag took place after a slight accident of Eddie Cheever Jr To the resumption lived the most exciting moment on the weekend. Almost ten cars fought wheel rolls by the victory, among them Takings Scheckter, already recovered, Buddy Rice, Felipe Giaffone, Tony Renna, Gil de Ferran, Castroneves Helium, Sam Hornish Jr, SARAH Fisher, Scott Sharp, among others.
In order to emphasize the bravery of the young SARAH Fisher who fought handspan to handspan, even touching itself to more than 300 Km/h with the Brazilian Felipe Giaffone. Truly the spectacle offered by this series of pilots has been of another planet.
Entering to the last Scheckter return already it had a reassuring advantage, but the perfect result for Red Bull Cheever Racing not yet was complete.
Buddy Rice, the newcomer one, surpassed fittingly to Giaffone to finish secondly to 1,7 seconds of his coequiper South African. In third location it arrived Felipe Giaffone followed of Tony Renna, Gil de Ferran, Castroneves Helium, Sam Hornish Jr, SARAH Fisher, Scott Sharp and Richie Hearn.
This result three shining activities in Michigan are come off. On the one hand the fantastic debut of Buddy Rice. A pilot who never had participated in IRL tolerated like true an experienced one fighting elbow elbow with the stars of the category. With this demonstration a place in the square Red Bull Cheever Racing gained.
On the other hand the fourth position of Tonny Renna. A pilot who made debut already in Nashville supplanting to the veteran To Unser Jr Renna had insinuated his conditions in the last race, but in this occasion he could seal the result.
And finally already mentioned conduction of SARAH Fisher. To the best Montoya style in ovals, the young person put everything in track reaching the leadership and demonstrating that anger is what it exceeds to him.
