THREE DRIVERS WILL TUNE UP FOR AUSTRALIA THIS WEEKEND AT MONTEREY

admin | 16 October, 2008 07:38

Tony Kanaan, Ryan Briscoe and - yes - Helio Castroneves will all compete this weekend in the Monterey Sports Car Championships as a tuneup for the Oct. 25 Nikon Indy 300 at Surfer's Paradise.

Castroneves got permission from the judge overseeing his tax evasion case to travel to Australia to compete in the final IndyCar race of 2008. He and Briscoe finished first in the LMP2 Class at the Petit Le Mans race two weeks ago at Road Atlanta.

Because of the time differential - I can never figger out whether they're a day ahead or a day behind or whatever- the race will be televised here on ESPN Classic at 10:30 p.m. E.T.Sat., Oct. 25....which is Sunday, 10/26 in Australia.

I think.....
