Robert Doornbos has finnished on the podium in his 3th campcar race.
This is the second time Doornbos entert the podium.

Let`s us hope that he does that many times more =D> .

 

[Peter Meijer]

Too bad he left F1, but this is great too

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

Good decision from him to go to the ChampCars

 

[Wido Rossen]

Absolute good decision.

In 3 race`s twice on the podium.
And last race he started from 13th place.
So he drove a very good race.

Thumbs up Robert , keep on racing.

 

[Robert Wiesenmüller]

Doornbos is impressive. I think he will catch the "Best Rookie" title, and he will win at least one race this year. Normally Servia, Power, Bourdais are faster, but there can be surprises.

]Thumbs up Robert , keep on racing.

Robert Doornbos keeps on builing his great stats in the champcar series.

In Portland he just has to give into Justin Wilson whos whas whit 0.58.000, 0,214 of a sec faster than Doornbos who drove a 0.58.214.
He whas 0.094 faster then Sebastian Bourdais.
Paul Tracy set a 13th time just behind Belgian driver Jan Heylen.

Robert his making one hell of a career in the state`s.
A think it`s better for him to stay there and leave the F1 for what it is.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

Robert Doornbos just finished second in Cleveland race after coming from the back because of a stop & go...
he's now 2nd in standing 3 points behind points leader Sebastien Bourdais, who has a dnf in this race.
next week is Mont-Tremblant

 

[Wido Rossen]

damm that Doornbos gonna leave a dutch mark in the state`s

 

[Christopher Aponte]

Well well

Juan Pablo Montoya has just won his first Nextel Cup Race in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 @ Infineon Raceway after qualified 32 for this race.
he has made history by (if not mistaken) being the furthest back qualified driver to win this road course.
This is his second stock car win as he won the Mexico Bush series race back in February (now both being road courses).
This comes good for him as he had it pretty rough in the last races (Michigan finishing dead last) & as he did came once close to winning @ Atlanta before he scrapped the wall & damaged his handling a bit & thus ruined his chances.
