Rodolfo Lavin ended his day in the fifth spot, scoring a top-five run in just his second start of the 2005 season. His finish was the best on a road course for the Mexican pilot since he ran second at Road America last year. Ryan Hunter-Reay overcame qualifying troubles to take the sixth spot in the finishing order, earning the championship point for making up the most positions on a day where the American driver gained 11 spots from his grid spot. Ronnie Bremer finished seventh today and moved to within just two points of the lead in the rookie point standings while Ricardo Sperafico earned the best finish of his Champ Car career with an eighth-place run. The series takes a week off and then heads to Canada for the third and final time this season, visiting the picturesque Circuit Gilles- Villeneuve for the Molson Indy Montreal August 26-28. Sebastien Bourdais "When I saw PT in the wall, I was very surprised because PT makes very few mistakes and that's not the kind of mistake he makes when he's up front like that. I am just glad we did it. Second year in a row it was very important for us for Centrix and PacifiCare, for everybody." Mario Dominguez "I almost lost the podium because I made a mistake and I pressed the water button instead of the radio. All the water splashed in the helmet. So it got all dirty, then it just started to fog up. In fact, during the yellow I had to take off my glove completely, tried to wipe it from the inside and put it back on again. That was a mess. It was so bad I lost concentration, missed the braking point. Then I said to myself if I don't make the podium they are going to kill me. So I did." A.J. Allmendinger "We seemed to have a pretty good car in the first like 10 laps of a run and then we kind of just -- were all weekend kind of missing the setup on from 10 laps on, so you know, I just came in with the attitude this weekend that -- the last three weeks were quite disappointing. I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself."
