Motorsport Quick Notes...
Michael Crawford Motorsports announced Mishael Abbott as its driver for the opening race of the 2006 season, at Homestead-Miami
Speedway on March 26. Abbott will test with MCM prior to the season opener. "This is another great step forward," said Crawford, formerly the manager of Sam Schmidt's Pro Series operation. "Mishael brings a lot to the program. She qualified fourth at Homestead last year. We want to live up to that, do better than that"....
In Champ Car news, Mexican Mario Dominguez was confirmed Monday as Paul Tracy's teammate at Forsythe Championship Racing for the 2006 Champ Car World Series campaign...
The new Mazda-powered Swift 016 finally got on track this past week with two time series champ Jon Fogarty at the wheel. The new car is heralded as the resurgence of the formerly overpriced Champ Car Formula Atlantic series - previously powered by Toyota. "Overall the test was great. The car ran all three days with no real problems," said Fogarty. "The car's pretty much ready to go racing and once we got to the point of making set-up changes, the car responded the way a race car should."
