Kenny Bräck
Birth date: 21 MAR 66 Birth Place: Arvika Country: Sweden Car Number: 8 Team: Team Rahal Residence: Dublin, OH Years in CART: 1 Car Setup: Ford/Lola Kenny Brack started his rookie season in the FedEx Championship Series with a unique claim to. He is the only rookie in CART history to have already won the Indy 500. Brack also has another unique claim: He is the only Indy 500 winner in the series. Although he has spent the past three seasons racing on the ovals in the IRL -- he won the championship in ’98 -- he is a road racer by training. Go-karts, Formula Ford, Formula 3, Barber Saab and Formula 3000 are some of the series in which he’s competed and won. In ’96 Brack won the European Formula 3000 championship on the track but had it taken away from him by the officials for "too tough driving." Now he will run as teammate to Max Papis, driving the Shell Ford/Reynard for Team Rahal. The Ford/Reynard combination appears to be a very strong one. Engineer extraordinaire Don Halliday will be his race engineer. At 33, Brack is not just a raw rookie. In reality he is a poised veteran. Don’t be surprised if he has a season that many seasoned veterans haven’t been able to equal. He could well be a championship contender. |
