Zack Brown on Pole for Infineon Race; JDP back in the cockpit

May 2-4 at Infineon Race Way, Sonoma CA

The third race weekend in the Ferrari Challenge 2008 season was at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma California this past weekend.  Della Penna Motorsports started the weekend with a wave of excitement when Zak Brown (7) qualified on the pole in preparation for the first race on Saturday, setting the new track record with a time of 1:44.752.  It was a great accomplishment for the team and left crew and driver feeling optimistic.  “The car ran great in qualifying I set my fast lap on my first set of tires on the third lap, I thought it may be good enough for the pole but I wasn’t sure so I waited in the pits to see if any one else would beat it but no one did. The guys did a great job” Brown said.  > continued

Massa Wins; 500 Qualifying Continues On

F1 Massa pulls a hat trick in Turkey.  It is amazing to see how Massa has certain tracks figured out but struggles at others.  You would think a driver of that caliber would be more consistent. I guess F1 is so finite that everything makes a difference and if a driver can account for that difference in a small way it shows in the results.

Before I get into the race let me back up and tell you that the race was at Infenion Raceway or Sears Point as we used to call it.
