Wade Cunningham is the latest Indy Pro Series driver to get an opportunity to test an IndyCar Series car.
The 2005 Indy Pro Series champion joined Andretti Green Racing drivers Tony Kanaan, Marco Andretti and Hideki Mutoh at Sebring International Raceway on Monday (December 17th).
The test was the fifth bonus test day earned by AGR in 2007 for their partnership with AFS Racing in fielding a team in the Indy Pro Series.
Long-Anticipated Ride Finally Arrives
“It was cool to drive an IndyCar Series car for the first time,” Cunningham said. “It’s something that I’ve looked forward to since I came over here in 2005."
Cunningham is a native of New Zealand, and enjoys a sizable fan-following in his home country.
"I’m very grateful to (AFS Racing owner) Gary (Peterson) and Andretti Green Racing for this opportunity," he continued.
"It was a bit difficult in the morning with the track still at 50 degrees; but after 20 laps or so, the car felt reasonably comfortable.”
Should he find his way into the IndyCar Series for the 2008 season Cunningham would be the fourth Indy Pro Series graduate to land a big-car drive in the last ninety days, joining Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Lloyd, Roth Racing's Jay Howard and AGR's Hideki Mutoh.
