Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas gave Ganassi's Indianapolis-based operation its 100th victory by winning the recent Bosch Engineering 250 at Virginia International Raceway. That was the team's 26th victory in the GRAND-AM Rolex Series, going along with 40 in CART and 34 in the IRL IndyCar Series. Hull has been there for all 100, beginning with Michael Andretti's 1994 triumph at Surfer's Paradise. Make that 101 victories – Scott Dixon gave the team its 27th IndyCar Series triumph Saturday at Kansas Speedway.
Russell has been getting more and more comfortable in a race car every week, and is coming off his first podium finish, when he and Paul Edwards took third at Virginia International Raceway. After debuting with a partial schedule driving a Daytona Prototype - then limited action in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge - the Georgian has found a home in the GT division. While Russell won the 1993 World Superbike championship, one year after winning the AMA title, "Mr. Daytona" is best remembered in two-wheeled competition for winning the Daytona 200 By Honda five times.
