Ed Carpenter, son of Indy Racing League founder Tony George, had a strong weekend Feb. 5-6 at the Copper World Classic in Phoenix.

Carpenter finished ninth in his USAC Coors Light Silver Bullet Series debut and finished 15th in the MCI WorldCom National Midget feature on the 1-mile oval at Phoenix International Raceway.

In the 50-lap Coors Light Silver Bullet feature, Carpenter made an impressive climb from the 26th starting position in the Conseco-Menards car.
