BROOKLYN,
MI. – Seven
of IRL IndyCar's brightest stars came out for the MIS Media Go-Kart
Challenge. They were available for pre-race interviews and AmericaJR.com
spoke with four of the seven. They also participated in a mini-race
with the media.
Each year,
some of IRL's biggest names have participated in the Media Go-Kart
Challenge. This year, the drivers were Marco Andretti, Buddy Rice,
Helio Castroneves, Vitor Meira, Jeff Simmons, Kosuke Matsuura and
Jeff Bucknum. I had the chance to speak with four of the seven drivers.
Look for the pre-race interviews coming up later in this article.
What is
the purpose of the Go-Kart Challenge? The media and the professional
drivers are put to the test on this mini race track. It is all in
fun to see who will win, the local media or the professional IRL
IndyCar drivers. No matter who wins the race, it proved to be fun
for all to enjoy.
