Chevy Drivers Claim Top-Six Finishing Positions and Eight of Top-10 in Milwaukee IndyFest
MILWAUKEE, Wisc (June 16, 2012) – Ryan Hunter-Reay came to the Milwaukee IndyFest presented by XYQ determined to repeat his 2004 performance at the historic Milwaukee Mile, and he did just that. Leading a race-high 84 of the 225-lap race behind the wheel of the No. 28 Team DHL/Sun Drop Citrus Soda Andretti Autsosports Chevrolet, Hunter-Reay became the third driver this season to take the Chevrolet IndyCar V-6 to Victory Lane in the IZOD IndyCar Series.
“It’s amazing. First of all, thank you to all of the fans for coming out, filling a great number of seats in here,” said Hunter-Reay. “What a race. I know we would all have liked to see a little more passing, but from the car it was so busy, just trying to hang on to it. But getting a win for DHL, Sun Drop and Chevy, it’s unreal.”
But the Chevrolet teams weren’t done. At the checkered flag, Chevrolet drivers captured the top-six finishing positions and eight of the top-10. Standing alongside Hunter-Reay on the podium was Tony Kanaan, No. 11 GEICO/MOUSER Electronics KV Racing Technology Chevrolet, who finished second, and James Hinchcliffe, No. 27 Team GoDaddy.com Andretti Autosport Chevrolet who captured third place.
“Congratulations to Ryan Hunter-Reay and Andretti Autosports on their victory today at Milwaukee,” said Chris Berube, Chevrolet Racing Program Manager, IZOD IndyCar Series. “They clearly had the car to beat and their race strategy played out perfectly. Tony Kanaan and James Hinchcliffe also had great drives to give the Chevrolet IndyCar V-6 all three podium positions. It was a tremendous team showing today. Having Chevy-powered teams take the top-six finishing positions, and eight of the top 10, is very gratifying for everyone who works so hard on the Chevrolet IndyCar program.”
Oriol Servia, No. 22 Panther/Dreyer and Reinbold Racing Chevrolet, continued his strong surge by finishing fourth today. E.J. Viso, No. 5 CITGO/PDVSA KV Racing Technology Chevrolet was fifth at the checkered flag. Helio Castroneves, No. 3 Penske Truck Rental Chevrolet, completed the Chevy top-six sweep.

The win is the first for Hunter-Reay this season who started second, and the sixth IndyCar win of his career. The runner-up finish for Kanaan is his second podium this year, as well as the second podium for Hinchcliffe.
