IndyCar: Ryan Briscoe ganó en Kentucky!!!

El piloto del Team Penske se impuso en espectacular definición frente a Ed Carpenter por apenas 0s0162 al momento de cruzar la línea de sentencia.

La primera parte de la carrera estuvo dominada por Dixon y Briscoe, con el australiano acechando al neocelandés hasta el giro 49 en el que aprovecho la presencia de Robert Doornbos como rezagado para superarlo; Dixon recuperó la vanguardia en el primer pit-stop, pero Briscoe siguió persiguiéndolo antes de una nueva detención en boxes.

El piloto del equipo Penske se mantuvo cerca de Dixon utilizando la línea alta del peralte y abriéndose paso en el transito, pero debió aguardar a nuevas paradas para rebasarlo, fue allí que sobrevino la primera neutralización de la noche causada por Justin Wilson por problemas de motor, en tanto que Will Power –reciente ganador en Edmonton- había logrado avanzar del 20º puesto y en base a una estrategia de largo aliento pudo llegar a la punta.

Pero fue Carpenter quien avanzó más que nadie, rápidamente llegó del 14º lugar a la cuarta colocación en la parte inicial del desarrollo y en el relanzamiento se acercó a Dixon y Castroneves y los superó para atacar a Power por el liderazgo y comenzando un largo duelo “rueda a rueda” hasta que éste hizo su detención final en el giro 156.

El piloto del equipo de Tony George se encontró liderando la competencia, pero los dos pilotos de Penske, junto a Dixon y Kanaan lo acosaron constantemente; luego de una nueva parada estratégica, el piloto del AGR se colocó segundo delante de Dixon y de Briscoe y comenzó con sus intentos por destronar a Carpenter faltando 15 giros, pero no podía distraerse al tener a Briscoe pegado a la cola de su auto.

En el tramo final de diez vueltas, Kanaan intentó resistir en vano a Briscoe y cuando éste lo superó se fue encima de Carpenter, que trataba de no apartarse de la línea interna mientras su rival insistía una y otra vez.

Cuando parecía que Carpenter había logrado contener a Briscoe y se disponía a alcanzar su primera victoria, el australiano atacó por la parte externa de la curva 4 y le arrebató el triunfo conquistando su segunda victoria del año, la primera en un óvalo de 1,5 millas, y volviendo al triunfo desde la carrera de St. Petersburg, resultado que le permite colocarse al frente en el campeonato.

Tony Kanaan finalizó tercero 0s1614 en el mejor final en largo tiempo para el Andretti Green Racing, mientras que Helio Castroneves finalizó quinto delante de Graham Rahal (Newman-Haas-Lanigan); las diez primeras ubicaciones se completaron con Dario Franchitti (Ganassi), Scott Dixon (Ganassi), Danica Patrick (AGR), Will Power (Penske) y Marco Andretti (AGR).

Los venezolanos Ernesto Viso y Milka Duno no tuvieron un feliz desempeño en el óvalo de Kentucky; “EJ” se clasificó 15º a tres vueltas del vencedor y Duno abandonó.

Por lo visto, el sistema “push to pass” dio resultado, hubo 20 cambios en el liderazgo y ésta fue la segunda carrera, en promedio en millas por hora, más veloz de la historia de IndyCar.

Entrevista a Ryan Briscoe: (Nota En Ingles)

We're now joined by race winner Ryan Briscoe. His second win of 2009. Fourth IndyCar Series victory in his 48th start.
Ryan, what a finish. Maybe take us through the last 10 or 11 laps.

RYAN BRISCOE: Or 20, 30 (laughter). It was great. You know, I don't know how on cold pressure I found myself skipping up the track, getting myself into a bit of trouble early in that stint in three and four. I had to come sort of back through the field and had a really good car I would pass with. I worked my way up to second place about 19 to go.

At that point Roger (Penske) said, "Use your 'push to pass' every lap from here, let's see what you got." I went for the high line. It looked like, when I'd been following Ed, didn't look like he could hold the low line as well through one and two. I thought that my best option was going to be to go to the outside of him, see what I got.

He surprised me. He was actually really good. He could run it low. He held it low until about five to go, I think. Then it started getting pretty racy to the finish.

But it was exciting. He did a great job. I was trying to time my pressing of the button so I'd get a good push through (Turns) 3 and 4, a run down to the start/finish line. The way the timing of it works, you get 12 seconds of power, then you have to wait 10 seconds until you can use it again.

Basically you're using it once a lap. I found where I thought it was going to help me most, as far as leading laps. Yeah, Roger just told me, "Keep doing what you're doing. You're better off of (Turn) 4." That's where we need to be good. It was just close. I was thinking, I don't need to touch wheels with Ed Carpenter here. Started getting closer and closer.

I don't know if I've ever been so excited crossing a finish line. It was very hard-fought out there. Big win for me.

Q. It seems your two wins this year, you've been the heartbreaker for Vision Racing.

RYAN BRISCOE: Sorry about that (laughter).

Q. You had that battle at St. Pete, now you deny Ed Carpenter a victory. If you're racing a Vision car, it's going to end up being a victory for you?

RYAN BRISCOE: We're not going to give it to them. You know, that win is important as far as points go. You get very well-rewarded with this points system for getting a win. At least 10 more over a second-place car. It means a lot to win races here.

I don't care who it is, I want to get that win. It's been a while coming. I haven't had an oval win since Milwaukee last year. We've been leading laps. We've been running at the front; just haven't been able to get the job done.

This was important for me and the whole team I think moving forward.

Q. When you brushed the wall coming out of four, was there any thoughts the race was over for you at that point?

RYAN BRISCOE: No. No. Did I hit the wall? I was close. I think I may have just missed the wall. It was pretty scary. I saw that wall coming at me quick. It doesn't take much, you bend the suspension and the day's over. I've got to thank whatever that I was able to catch it before going up there. I knew why it happened. On low pressure, on the high groove, the car just bottomed out and skipped me up the track. I knew what to do to avoid that. Once I figured it out, I was able to start working on where my car was best. Straightaway I felt that there was no damage. The tires were clean, not cut. I just put that behind me and worked on not letting it happen again.

Q. To clarify, you had one 'push' left on the last lap, correct?

RYAN BRISCOE: You tell me (laughter). I was just hitting that button. I know with 19 laps to go I had 17. You can use about one per lap. I had been pushing it on the front straight. I skipped a lap. I didn't use it for a lap. I started using it on the back straight. I knew I could keep using it every lap until the finish. So I knew it was going to be close.

Q. You started on the backstretch, that's where you start the push?

RYAN BRISCOE: Yes.

Q. Are you surprised some of your team members went to Ed's pit before coming to Victory Lane?

RYAN BRISCOE: That's great. It's a big day for Vision, Ed Carpenter. That's great to see. I think in this series, the Indy Racing League, there's a lot of camaraderie between teams. It's always great to see these teams doing a good job out there. Also from my part, a big congrats to the whole team.

Q. With the aero changes they made in the car, did it make it easier to run side-by-side or get by somebody? Everybody didn't use the same options. Did you feel it was an easier car to drive?

RYAN BRISCOE: Wasn't easy out there. It allowed us probably to be more aggressive. So the racing was a bit closer. But we still got turbulent air. I think we could get closer before it really affected our car so much. I think up until now, we've sort of been getting within two or three car lengths, and it starts really making the car loose. You got to get out of the throttle. Today we could run down under people, get aggressive. I think that's what made the racing better.

Aero packages, you know, the tires were great tonight, the 'push to pass', I don't think you can put your finger on one thing that made it good tonight. I think it's always going to be a package deal. The track was in good condition. Thankfully we got these weepers dried up. I know they ground the track since the Nationwide race this year. I heard it was pretty bad. We were pleasantly surprised when we got out on the track tonight.

Q. You were talking about a good points night. If my math is right, you have a pretty good points position. You're coming up to your strength of the season with a couple of natural road courses. Talk about that, please.

RYAN BRISCOE: Yeah, geez, it's been one of those years. No one can hold on to the points lead. We're not going to get too content yet. Someone told me it's eight points over second. It's so close. It's the difference between a first and second. So it's close.

As far as the tracks we're going to right now, I think we'll be strong at the road courses. But (Scott) Dixon, (Dario) Franchitti, they'll be strong there, too. We just got to try to keep finishing in front of those guys, keep our heads down, keep working hard. We have five to go. We just got to keep pushing forward.

Q. You had such a tight battle with Dixon the first half of the race. Were you surprised he sort of faded back?

RYAN BRISCOE: I was a little bit. It looked like he struggled in traffic a little bit. I don't know if he was maybe a bit more trimmed out. He might have been lacking a little bit of downforce tonight. He was very strong out in front. But we had a great dice, as well. I was sort of sitting behind him, saving fuel. As we got close to the pit windows, I turned it up a little bit to try to pressure him. I think we got in front of him before the first pit stop. The second pit stop we saved a bit more fuel, and he pitted while we were side-by-side. We were able to get out in front of him.

But, you know, I did think it was gonna be Scott and I down to the wire tonight. Then that yellow came out. Looked like both of us had a bit of trouble on the restart. Ed got out in front. Will was up there, as well, on the lighter fuel load. Helio (Castroneves) and T.K. and (Graham) Rahal, (Mario) Moraes were all there. It was a lot of fun. There were a lot of different racing lines and multiple grooves. Some worked on the low line, some worked better on the high line. You had to approach each competitor out there a little bit differently. It was a fun challenge.

THE MODERATOR: Ryan, thank you very much. Congratulations.
