2003 CART - LAGUNA SECA

for latest update

R7 OF 19, JUNE 15, MILWAUKEE

CARPENTIER: " .. It feels great, and one thing to note is we finished that close and there was no yellow flags, so it was a pretty good race. I hope the fans enjoyed it. For me, it was felt like I stole a car and I had a bunch of policemen running after me and I was looking in the mirrors and these guys were really, really close. When I got out of the pits, seems like for the first part of the stint my car was better; then Paul was trying to get away every time and when I got to halfway then these guys, Paul and Bruno were faster than me. So I was just trying to stay ahead of them, and there were a few back markers which made it more interesting, and it was a fun race
