For the third time in four races, Red Bull Cheever Racing placed a car in the top 10
source: Red Bull Cheever Racing Today, the race was doubly successful with both Alex Barron and Patrick Carpentier putting their cars in the top 10 in the ABC Supply Company - AJ Foyt 225 at The Milwaukee Mile. Patrick Carpentier started the race 14th, but didn't waste any time moving up in the field. He picked up three spots on the first lap, and continued his charge to seventh when the checkered flag dropped. This finish was his third top 10 in four races, and extends his series lead in laps completed. "The car was fast, and I think we were pretty close to what the leaders were running. Starting from 14th, we had some problems at the beginning, which cost us a little bit. When you can stick with the leaders, it's a lot easier to stick with them at the end. We lost a lap early, and we couldn't find a way to get it back. Overall, I'm pleased with the result, though. The team is definitely getting better and better, and we need to keep working," Carpentier said. Initially, Barron slipped a few spots in the #51 car before fighting back and bringing home an eighth place finish. Overall, he was pleased with the result after running strong all weekend and earning his season best starting position of seventh.
