Anticipating a new venue
Max Papis, Driver Of The No. 25 MCI Racing Toyota RV8B/Reynard 97,Comments On The Inaugural Motorola 300:
"It's a new adventure,because I am not even sure where St. Louis is located in the UnitedStates. I need to find a map and see where I am going. It will beno problem to discover the track as everyone else will have to do thesame. The extra day of testing will work as an equalizer. It willbe very exciting for me to see how fast people like Al Unser Jr., whohas a lot of oval experience, will learn the track and maybe see if Ican beat them on that. It was very encouraging for the team tofinish the race in Brazil, and to finish the best we have thisseason. The challenge for us this weekend will be to see how good weare at interpreting our data and applying it to the car on this ovalin order to quickly get the 100 percent set-up of the car. I amlooking forward to the event because we should have a little bit ofimprovement from Toyota and I'd like to see what we can learn."
