Road America - On the right track.

Michael Andretti (Pictured last year) has collected three FedEx Championship Series victories at Road America (1990, '91 and '96) and has scored championship points in 10 of his 16 career appearances at the venue, with three runner-up finishes (1985, '86 and '99).

His victory in 1996 - when he took the lead from Al Unser, Jr., who suffered an engine failure on the final lap - made him one of only four drivers in CART history to win while leading the final lap of a race. Andretti has also earned two of the past three pole positions at Road America (1998, '99) and has led at least one lap in seven different events, a total of 120 in all.

Paul Tracy owns a pair victories (1993, 2000), as well as a runner-up finish (1995) in nine career starts at Road America. He also claimed consecutive poles in 1992, '93 and '94, and led all 50 laps from the pole en route to his 1993 victory. In all, Tracy has led 103 career laps at Road America.

Alex Zanardi of Mo Nunn Racing owns podium finishes in all three of his career appearances at Road America, topped by a 1997 victory, in which he led 15 laps. Zanardi also recorded a runner-up effort in 1998 and a third-place performance from the pole in 1996.

Adrian Fernandez of Fernandez Racing has finished among the top six drivers in five of his nine career starts at Road America, topped by a runner-up effort to Paul Tracy last year. He also finished third in 1999, fifth in 1994 and '98 and sixth in '95.

Christian Fittipaldi of Newman/Haas Racing earned his first career FedEx Championship Series victory at Road America in 1999 and has finished fourth or better in three of his past four starts, including finishes of third in 1998 and fourth in 1997.

Jimmy Vasser of Patrick Racing has scored championship points in five of his seven career appearances at Road America, topped by a podium result of third in 1995. He also finished sixth in 1996, eighth in '97, ninth in '99 and fifth last year.

Max Papis of Team Rahal has scored championship points in four of his previous five starts at Road America, topped by a best finish of fifth in 1999. He also finished seventh last year, ninth in '96 and 11th in '98.

Manufacturing success:

Honda has won three of the past four FedEx Championship Series events contested at Road America, getting victories from Alex Zanardi (1997), Dario Franchitti (1998) and Paul Tracy last year. Honda has also won a series-high five events during the 2001 FedEx Championship Series season, with victories from Helio Castroneves at Long Beach, Detroit and Mid-Ohio; Dario Franchitti at Cleveland and Michael Andretti at Toronto. Thanks largely to those victories, Honda has assumed a 212-185 lead over Ford in the battle for the CART Manufacturer's Championship.

Helio Castroneves' victory at Mid-Ohio was Reynard's fourth in the past five FedEx Championship Series events. The others came from Dario Franchitti at Cleveland, Michael Andretti at Toronto and Patrick Carpentier at Michigan.
