Joining us today are members of the Red Bull Cheever Racing team based out of Indianapolis. Earlier today the team made a couple of exciting announcements, which includes the addition of driver Patrick Carpentier, who will join Alex Barron on the two-car team. Red Bull Cheever Racing also announced that the two-car team will be powered by Toyota engines. We'd like to join Eddie Cheever, Alex Barron and Patrick Carpentier to today's call. Eddie, first congratulations on today's announcement. You've got to be excited about how things are taking shape for your team in 2005. Can you talk about today's announcement? EDDIE CHEEVER, JR.: We've been working very long on putting all these pieces together. It ends a long relationship we had with General Motors, but it also starts a new one with Toyota. The IRL has become definitely a battle of Titans in the engine department, and we feel that with Toyota, it will put us back to the front again. As for our drivers, I couldn't be happier. We have two seasoned, experienced warriors. They seem to be very comfortable with our company's philosophy. I'm very much looking forward to the season. MODERATOR: Thank you.
