US Indy Pro Champion, who, unusually, came to Europe to race, rather than stay in a top drive in the US. This did not work out however and went to the IRL, but after irregular drives, including the Indy 500, went into endurance racing, but this too became irregular. After a period of doing some commentating for Speedvision, and a brief return to the IRL, he is now a full-time racer in Grand-Am and ALMS, although he still returns to the Indy 500.
