Kelley completes first Indy test of 2003.

All three Kelley Racing drivers entered for the 87th running of the Indianapolis 500 participated in a variety of testing held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week in preparation for the 'big event's' opening day on 4 May.

Rookie Tony Renna, driver of the #32 CAN/HomeMed Pharmacy entry, was the first of the Kelley drivers on the track this week for his Rookie Orientation Program [ROP] on Monday.

"It was very rewarding to complete my ROP," Renna said, "Competing in the Indianapolis 500 has been a dream for me in my racing career and to actually run here for the first time is pretty awesome."

Renna completed his ROP late Monday afternoon and then continued testing on Tuesday, running 120 total laps on the historic 2.5-mile oval with a top speed of 223.93mph.

Indy Racing League IndyCar Series points leader Scott Sharp tested his #8 Delphi entry on Tuesday and Wednesday, and was happy with his inaugural outing of the 2003 season at the Speedway.

"I'm very pleased with the Kelley Racing/Delphi group," the recent Motegi winner revealed, "We unloaded and ran very well yesterday and today. The 2003 Dallara chassis and Toyota engines have been great and the team has been doing a great job as well. It seems like we're right were we need to be to start the month of May."

Sharp turned a total of 92 laps during his two-day test with a top speed of 226.2mph.

Al Unser Jr drove of the #31 Corteco entry on Wednesday, joining regular team-mate Sharp today for a single day of testing.

"Both Scott and I are pretty happy with our cars and feel like we're running pretty competitive times," the veteran said, "The Corteco team worked extremely hard at this test and it showed. I am looking forward to opening day and a great month of May at the Speedway with Kelley Racing."

Unser Jr turned a total of 76 laps today with a top speed of 225.56mph.
