Welcome Dan Clarke source: paddocktalk.com ERIC MAUK: I am joined today by one of the co‑owners of CTE Racing ‑ HVM Mr. Keith Wiggins, and we have the pleasure of making yet another driver announcement as it is my pleasure to announce the driver of what will now be the #14 CTE Racing‑ HVM Ford‑Cosworth/Lola Bridgestone, I'd like to welcome Dan Clarke to the call. Dan Clarke, the 22‑year‑old from Yorkshire, England will be making his debut in the Champ Car World Series, the young man has a strong pedigree, he ran in the British F3 Championship last year and in 2004 won the very prestigious Formula Ford Festival over in the U.K. Dan, congratulations and welcome to the Champ Car World Series. DAN CLARKE: Thanks, Eric. ERIC MAUK: For Keith Wiggins, you tested in Sebring last week and got a good number of miles with Dan as well as Nelson Philippe. Congratulations on finalizing your driver lineup and tell us what interested you and what attracted to you Dan Clarke. KEITH WIGGINS: I think it was his legs, actually. As you said it's been one of those winters again where we've taken things down to the wire a little bit. It's been good to work through and have some options to consider. Dan came down to us, as you said before, he's quite young, and I think someone pointed that out on the last conference call about us going for young drivers. I guess we've clearly made that statement this year. The complete interview at paddocktalk.com
