I am looking forward to working with everyone at PKV Racing and helping them achieve their goal of winning races and contending for championships." Challis joined PKV Racing last year, the team's second year of existence. He guided PKV Racing to both its best finish and qualifying position when driver/owner Jimmy Vasser finished second at the 2004 Molson Indy Toronto and qualified second on the oval in Las Vegas. "Steve Challis did an outstanding job as Technical Director of PKV Racing," said McGee. "He took the team to the next level of competitiveness as evidenced by the fact that PKV Racing earned both its best starting and finishing positions during his tenure." Following the Milwaukee test PKV Racing will travel to Monterrey, Mexico where the 2005 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford will resume with the Tecate/Telmex Monterrey Grand Prix, May 20-22. Founded in January 2003, Indianapolis-based PKV Racing will field a two-car effort during the 2005 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season. The third-year team is owned by successful venture capitalists Kevin Kalkhoven, who also co-owns the Champ Car World Series and Dan Pettit, along with 1996 Series Champion Jimmy Vasser. Vasser also drives the #12 Gulfstream/PKV Racing Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone entry. The second car, the #21 PKV Racing Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone machine, is piloted by 2002 Series Champion Cristiano da Matta.
