CART leader confident

Team KOOL Green's Paul Tracy currently leads the points standings, after winning the Grand Prix of Long Beach. The Canadian is circumspect about his chances, but believes he is well placed to retain his lead until the end of the season

"We're only two races into a very long season, but I've got say that I like the way things have gone so far for the Team KOOL Green crew," says Tracy

"Leading the championship makes you think about winning the title, but we know we've got a long way to go to reach that goal. We also know that if we keep working together as a team, and not make too many mistakes, we should be in the hunt heading to Fontana (season finale)."

Tracy won the Rio event in 1997 in a Penske, so knows how to deal with the layout of the track, which, unusually for an oval, has both slow and fast corners

"We're taking it one race at a time and we've got our sights set squarely on scoring more points in Rio," he claims.

"It's an interesting track and it usually produces an interesting race. We're on a bit of a roll, we think we've got a good setup for the Rio circuit and I've had some success there in the past, so we're not lacking any confidence heading down there."
