A MESSAGE OF THANKS(GIVING) FROM RACE DIRECTOR TONY COTMAN

Hey everyone:

We at Champ Car are all very proud that Jim did not get run over while delivering the Checkered flag on the race track in Mexico City for the third consecutive year. While Jim recovers from that, and another successful year in Race Control, here's something I'd like to share with you all:

I would like to thank the Marshals from around the world, who attend any number of our Champ car events. Without your support, Champ Car racing would not be able to function at such a consistently high level. I have never worked on that side of things throughout my career, but with Jim’s help have grown to understand more than ever the importance of marshals and the value you add. I rely on you all each week, to aid in a decision making process, and hopefully do our sport justice. I’m proud to have you all be a part of the Champ Car family, and wish you all happy holidays. Look forward to seeing everyone next season.

Cheers,

Tony
