FT. WORTH (June 9, 2012) – After an extremely competitive 228-lap race, three Chevrolet IndyCar V-6 drivers scored top-five finishes and a total of five Chevy-powered cars finished in the top-eight at Texas Motor Speedway. Ryan Briscoe brought the No. 2 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet to the checkered flag in third after leading five laps in the Firestone 550 for the IZOD IndyCar Series.
James Hinchcliffe, No. 27 Team Go.Daddy.com Andretti Autosport Chevrolet, finished fourth, and was credited with leading one time for a total of eight laps. JR Hildebrand, No. 4 National Guard Panther Racing Chevrolet, had a strong drive through the field from his 23rd starting position to finish fifth.
“Congratulations to Ryan Briscoe and Team Penske for their podium finish,” said Chris Berube, Chevrolet Racing Program Manager IZOD IndyCar Series. “Chevrolet powered cars took five of the top-eight finishing positions in an exciting night race at Texas Motor Speedway under the lights. Congratulations to Andretti Autosport and Panther Racing on a great race with their drivers James Hinchcliffe and JR Hildebrand finishing fourth and fifth respectively.
“Despite a high attrition rate, none of the Chevrolet’s suffered mechanical engine failures. The issues resulting in the DNF’s (Did Not Finish) will be addressed and the Chevrolet IndyCar V-6 teams will be ready to do battle in Milwaukee next weekend.”
Helio Castroneves, No. 3 AAA Team Penske Chevrolet, recovered from a mishap on pit road that sent him deep in the running order to finish seventh.
Series’ points leader Will Power, No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, led for a total of 24 laps before on-track contact with another driver forced him down pit road to serve a drive-through penalty. Power battled back to finish eighth in the final order.
The IZOD IndyCar Series moves next to The Milwaukee Mile for Milwaukee IndyFest on Saturday, June 16, 2012. The race will start at 1:30 p.m. ET. Live coverage will be provided by ABC TV.
