Veteran Champ Car/IndyCar driver and former Indy 500 pole winner Bruno Junqueira will drive the No.33 FAZZT Race Team entry for the upcoming 2010 Indianapolis 500.

Junqueira will be joining the teams' full-season driver Alex Tagliani in a second car for the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 30, 2010.

"I am thrilled with the opportunity to compete for the FAZZT Race Team at the Indianapolis 500," said Junqueira.

"The team will give me the resources and support to compete in a car that has the capabilities of winning at the Indianapolis 500."

The Brazilian has competed in five previous Indianapolis 500 events capturing the pole in his second effort at the Indy 500 in 2002. The former Newman-Haas star most recently qualified the Conquest Racing entry on Bump Day in 2009.
