IRL Predicts Fast Speeds for 1996 Phoenix 200
02/02/96
The Indy Racing Leagues predicts that speeds in March's Phoenix 200
will be fast. The prediction came in an IRL Press Release and is based
on "comparisons of speeds throughout the field -- from Phoenix last
year to Disney this year."
At the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World, Buddy Lazier qualified for the
pole starting position with a speed of 181.388 MPH. The fastest lap
during the race was run by Indy 200 Winner Buzz Calkins who clocked in
at 171.805 on lap 188.
Last year's Phoenix race had a pole speed of 181.952 and a fastest lap
of 169.492. In testing this year for the Phoenix race, Lazier has
clocked an unnofficial Phoenix International Raceway record at 184.900
MPH.

Official Press Release of the Indy Racing League:
DISNEY SPEEDS PREDICT FAST PACE AT PHOENIX
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1, 1996 -- Racing lap speeds in excess of 170 miles
per hour and qualifying speeds of more than 180 mph last Saturday at
the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World predict a fast pace for the Phoenix
200 live on ABC Sports television March 24, the next Indy Racing
League event.
"Cars qualify at one speed, and race at another," commented Jack Long,
IRL executive director. "What we learn by comparing speeds on the
one-mile ovals at Disney and Phoenix is that fans in Phoenix could
quite possibly see record speeds at the IRL event in March."
At Disney, the first-year IRL's inaugural event, Buddy Lazier won the
pole starting position by qualifying at 181.388 miles per hour on the
Walt Disney World Speedway, which measures exactly one mile (5,280
feet) around the race track at a point 10 feet above the white line
(inside boundary). During the race, quick laps consistently registered
in the 168-171 mph range. Buzz Calkins, the Indy 200 winner, clocked
the fastest leading lap of the event at 171.805 mph on Lap 188 of the
200-lap race. He had five laps of 170-mph-plus.
At the 200-lap Indy race in Phoenix (that track also measures exactly
a mile) last April, the pole speed was 181.952 mph and the fastest lap
of the race was 169.492 mph.
"The comparisons of speeds throughout the field -- from Phoenix last
year to Disney this year -- are very interesting," Long said. At
Disney, 17 of the 20 starters clocked race laps faster than 160 mph
and eight of the 17 were faster than 165. At Phoenix in 1995, 22 of 27
starters saw 160 mph in the race and 10 eclipsed 165. In testing this
year at Phoenix, Lazier clocked an all-time unofficial record PIR lap
of 19.47 seconds, 184.900 mph.

$1,078,500 PAID TO DISNEY FIELD; CALKINS NETS $122,500
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1, 1996 -- Winner Buzz Calkins netted $122,500 of
the total prize fund of $1,078,500 for the Indy Racing League's
inaugural event last Saturday, the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World
Presented by Aurora at the new one-mile Walt Disney World Speedway.
The prize payout was announced today by Jack Long, executive director
of the Indy Racing League headquartered at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500. The Indy 200 at Walt Disney
World is the first of five IRL races scheduled for 1996 that is
expected to have a series purse payout exceeding $12 million.
The next stop on the IRL schedule is the Phoenix 200 March 24, which
will also pay more than $1 million in prize money. Then comes the 80th
running of the Indianapolis 500 May 26, with an expected payout of
more than $8 million as auto racing's richest event. Other
million-dollar IRL events in 1996 will be the True Value 200 at New
Hampshire International Speedway Aug. 18 and the Las Vegas 500K at
the new Las Vegas Motor Speedway Sept. 15.
Calkins, 24, of Denver, Colo., won the $78,000 IRL first place prize
and received the $22,000 IRL qualifying bonus that goes to each of the
top 20 qualifiers in each IRL event. In addition to that $100,000
total, $25,000 of the $78,500 total designated (accessory) prize fund
went to the winner. His top designated awards included $10,000 from
Raybestos as the highest finishing rookie; $3,000 from Delco Battery,
and $2,500 from Earl's Performance Products.
"This prize money will contribute to the team in a meaningful way,"
Calkins said. "That's an intriguing thing about the IRL purse
structure. The prize money is at a level where it will actually help a
team's budget. Most racing isn't that way."
Tony Stewart, 24, of Rushville, Ind., was runner up and won $85,250 --
$60,000 for second place, $22,000 in IRL qualifying bonus, and $3,250
in designated prize money. Third place finisher Robbie Buhl actually
earned more than Stewart at $87,250. Buhl, 32, of Grosse Pointe,
Mich., won $47,000 for third, the $22,000 top-20 IRL qualifying bonus,
and $18,250 in designated prizes highlighted by $8,000 from Valvoline,
Inc., $5,000 from Miller Electric Manufacturing (lowest qualifier to
lead race), and $2,500 from Delco Battery.
Fourth place finisher Michele Alboreto won $65,000, and Indy 500
veteran Roberto Guerrero was fifth with $59,500. Polesitter Buddy
Lazier, who finished 17th, won $46,000 which included the $10,000 Pole
Winner Chief Mechanic Award from True Value. David Kudrave, in 20th
and last place, won $33,000. Money for positions 21-24 -- $10,000 for
each position -- was split among five entered drivers and teams who
did not make the race.
