		Walkinshaw reduced his shareholding to 25%, with Malik holding another 25%, MGPE 45%, and the remaining 5% being for team employees.

		It was the second fastest race in Indy Racing League history with an average speed of 179.044 mph.

		The Indy Racing League needs Sam Hornish and Tomas Scheckter and I implore the IRL to use these two speed demons as the nucleus of a group of drivers upon which to build the series around.
