SH RACING’S TOMAS SCHECKTER FINISHES 26TH TODAY AFTER SECOND
FULL DAY OF PRACTICE
SPEEDWAY, IN – MAY 19, 2011 – KV Racing Technology - SH Racing driver Tomas
Scheckter was able to finally get back on track today and continue practicing
for the 2011 Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway,
Indiana.
The past five days (except Monday) has seen mother nature take its course.
Opening Day (Saturday) was disrupted because of rain, yesterday and Sunday were
cancelled for continuous rain, and on Tuesday KVRT - SH Racing team officials
decided not to go on track due to temperatures not reaching above 50F.
Scheckter, 30, driving the No. 07 Team REDLINE Xtreme machine, was able to
finally go back on track today and continue to work through his Indy 500
qualifying program. He posted a fast lap of 224.632 mph which put him 26th on
the time sheets out of 40 cars running. The KVRT - SH Racing team worked on
qualifying setup and running solo, rather than race trim and behind other cars
which would produce faster speeds.
“It’s been good to get back in the car today,” says Scheckter. “The last few days
of not being on track have been difficult especially when you know you just have
two days left till qualifying. We made some good progression today though,
worked through quite a lot of items, but still have some work to do. I will sit
down with my teammates and engineers tonight to go over data and plan to have
another good day tomorrow.”
