Although Kenny Brack, Michael Andretti and Scott Dixon were of course, delighted to take home the FedEx Championship points for first, second and third, respectively, as a whole the Champ Car drivers were not terribly happy with the Milwaukee race. The aerodynamic package mandated for the Milwaukee Mile featured the Handford Device Mk. II rear wing, along with upwards of 500 pounds less downforce than was available last year due to the 2001 aerodynamic regulations. Although Andretti and Brack passed and re-passed one another a couple of times, by and large the race boiled down to a follow the leader procession, with faster cars unable to overtake even lapped traffic.
Turbulence is the problem.
You can't get close enough to the car ahead of you to make a pass. I would prefer to fight like crazy all day and finish 20th to going racing like this. About time, too, according to Fernandez. We should have been in the top six the last few races but we got let down by some electrical problems. But we've continued to work hard and this shows Fernandez Racing is coming together.
