RuSport's 'yellow jersey' honour to Armstrong.
The RuSPORT racing team is showing its support for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) and honoring Lance Armstrong's historic 6th straight Tour de France victory by running the #10 Champ Car in all yellow with LAF and "Live Strong" logos during this weekend's Grand Prix of Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
The RuSPORT team, in its first year in the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series powered by Ford, posted second and third place finishes two weeks ago in the Molson Indy Vancouver.

Driver A.J. Allmendinger hopes to again run at the front during this weekend's grand prix to build awareness of the LAF's mission to help people with cancer "live strong."
"This is actually a pretty big honour for me to have the #10 car carry the banner for Lance and the Lance Armstrong Foundation," said Allmendinger. "Lance has been such a great role model and inspiration for so many people that I hope I can do my part and deliver the great results this weekend that they deserve. Hopefully, together with Champ Car, we can reach more people and raise even more awareness for this great cause and provide some positive energy for those people living with cancer."
The team's support of the LAF caps off a weekend of fundraising activities for the foundation. On Saturday, Allmendinger and fellow Champ Car drivers will take to the track on bicycles during the Tour de Road America. They will cycle the 4-mile track with team members, fans, and local cyclists to reach the goal of raising $25,000 for the LAF.
