The team is ready to rebound in the Mile High City
source: Rocketsports Racing As the halfway marker in the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford hit after Round 8 in Edmonton, skeptics doubted the capability of the Rocketsports team this season, but the East Lansing-based squad proved them wrong by starting the weekend in San Jose placing Timo Glock and Ryan Hunter-Reay's names on top of the timing and scoring charts. It has not been a picture perfect season for the third-year team, but the Rocketsports team heads to each event with their heads held high and ready to compete. One thing that they are accomplishing is consistency with the #8 DHL Global Mail/Rocketsports Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone driven by Glock. The young German is currently leading in the Roshfrans Rookie-of-the-Year standings, thanks to six top-ten finishes in eight races. Solidly running in the top ten in Monterrey and looking for his best Champ Car finish of fourth in Edmonton, Glock was unable to take the checkered flag running a few laps shy due to incidents that were out of his control on course. Finishing sixth in San Jose, the 23-year-old driver matched his best Champ Car result that he recorded during his series debut in Long Beach. Glock sits as the only rookie in the top ten of the Champ Car championship standings in ninth with 109 points. He is currently second on the Series Leader Report for Laps Completed, running 826 of a possible 841 laps this season, completing 1,375.847 miles. A key factor to why this rookie sits at the top of the rookie class as he is obtaining a lot of valuable on-track time, which is furthering his learning curve in the Champ Car series.
