Along with partners Tide, Folgers, Kellogg's, Duracell, Gillette, Pringles, Old Spice, Jig-A-Loo, GeorgeTM and Fido, P&G and Wal-MartCanada have joined forces to support the championship aspirations of Tagliani and RSPORTS in the Champ Car World Series. Tagliani will be one of the spokespersons for the Victory Lap Charity Program, a cross-Canada fund-raising effort on behalf of the Children's Miracle Network, an instrumental force in providing medical care and preventative education to help millions of youngsters overcome disease and injuries of all types. Now in its fifth year, the Victory Lap tour, which in 2006 included a special ticket-sales campaign for the Champ Car race in Montreal, raised some $209,000 last year. "I really believe we can contend for the championship this year, and the support and confidence that Procter & Gamble, Wal-MartCanada and their partners have expressed makes me even more motivated to succeed," said Tagliani. "Especially if my success on the track helps to raise more funds for the children." Tagliani will be sporting the logos of the major partners throughout the season on his driver's suit and helmet, and the RSPORTS' #8 LXN2 Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone will bear their branding for the series' three Canadian races - in Mont Tremblant, Toronto and Edmonton.
