I could see the contact between Hunter-Reay and Jimmy [Vasser] coming way back, and I hoped that I'd make up spaces going by them, but as Jimmy spun he looked like he was going to my right and so I started to edge left, but then he rolled straight back and I couldn't avoid him. That damaged the front wing and I came so the crew could change it - but we had worse damage; the lower left wish bone was bent and that took about four minutes to change, by which time the race had re-started and we were two laps down." Rodolfo Lavin An ecstatic Rodolfo Lavin took 2nd place in today's 8th round of the Bridgestone presents the Champ Car World Series powered by Ford, his first ever race podium - after his first ever Champ Car Qualifying podium; 2nd in Vancouver. "I've been working for this for many years; through Karts and Atlantics ... many, many thanks to my sponsor CORONA for their support over eleven years. I have a great car and a great crew. We have been waiting for these results, and Mr. Jerry Forsythe has been great to me, and I'm very happy to be here in 2nd place". "We had some luck after our first pit stop - the yellow came out and that helped us a lot. I just concentrated on putting in consistent laps and my Ford engine was strong all day and my Bridgestone tires held up really well. I'm just so delighted for Corona and my team to get them this great result and our first 2nd place in Champ Car together."
