Rookie Adam Andretti Qualifies on Row Seven for His Inaugural IPS Race 

JOLIET, IL (September 8, 2007 -- Rookie Adam Andretti will start in the 13th 
position for  
tomorrow’s 67-lap, 100-mile Indy Pro Series Chicago 100 at the Chicagoland 
Speedway.  Andretti clocked a 29.197 on the second of two qualifying laps at a 
speed of 187.412 miles per hour.  Only 0.4178 seconds stand between Andretti 
and pole winner Alex Lloyd.  Sunday’s Chicago 100 race time is 12:30 p.m. EDT. 
“Adam did a great job all day,�?? said team co-owner Peter Parrott.  He’s been 
very consistent, has run well in traffic, and while we would have liked to 
qualify higher, in reality, we’re only about four-tenths behind the leader.  I’
m confident we can have a good race.�?? 
The team ran a total of 71 laps in the two practice sessions prior to 
qualifying. “The whole day went really well,�?? said Andretti after his qualifying 
run.  “The morning session was really strong.  The car was really fast throughout 
the long run and that’s what you really need.  We did 51 laps and our fastest 
lap was 51.  We’re the only car that’s doing that.  That’s what you need to 
be a competitor in the race.�?? 
Andretti’s sponsors for the Chicagoland 100 are: Brunton Vineyards (primary 
sponsor); Rev It Up Racing; New California Properties; Iron Will Creations; 
Terra Nova Industries; Collective IQ; Sirius Vodka; New Venture Attorneys; 
Brimstone Dynasty, an Extreme Athlete Marketing Company; Brigham Financial Group 
(former Raider tight end Jeremy Brigham); San Francisco businessman Peter Fazio; 
BCC Sports “All American Rookie;�?? and Ed Hardy’s Energy Drink.

ADAM ANDRETTI QUOTES: 
Qualifying does not show the car that we have prepared for the race.  We 
qualified just about where we predicted.  We actually picked up a little bit more 
than what we thought we’d run.  So we’re happy about that.  Obviously, if you’
re a driver, a race team, a competitor, you want to be on the pole, but we 
have a car that’s more competitive in the race and that’s what matters the 
most.   
At this point, I thank all my sponsors and supporters and SpeedWorks for 
everything everyone has done to put this effort together for me, and giving me the 
best chance that I can have on Sunday.  And that’s what matters.   Saturday 
is just laying the groundwork to get to Sunday.  We’re definitely excited for 
Sunday.
