Chicago, Ill. - Memo Gidley finished tenth in todays Target Grand Prix at Chicago Motor Speedway, marking his second tenth place finish with Della Penna Motorsports in as many events. The talented American has finished in the top-10 in the last three of the five events he has entered in 2000 (eighth at Rio, tenth at Michigan and Chicago).

Memo Gidley: "I was trying to pass Salles going into Turn One on the restart, but he broke sooner than I thought he would and I hit him. There was no damage to the car, just a big black streak on my nose from his rear tire. I kept the engine going, but stalled it trying to back out. That cost us a few laps. The Della Penna Motorsports team and I persevered though again this weekend. The yellows worked out for us and we got one of our laps back. Its great to have another strong finish for myself and the team."
