MÜNTER'S RETURN TO FIRESTONE INDY LIGHTS POSTPONED Team Unable to Complete Minimum Laps Required by IRL at Miami Test
Indianapolis, IN - (October 7, 2009) Leilani Munter’s anticipated debut of the 2009 Indy Lights season has been
put on hold. Team 3G and Leilani did not complete the required amount of
testing miles prior to the Homestead event, and was therefore not approved
to compete in the Indy Lights event in Homestead by the Indy Lights
competition department.
Team 3G had to spend much of their day at Homestead Miami getting the
car ready to run, leaving too little track time during the one-day
test to complete all of the required laps. Additionally, it was found that
the car had a broken right rear shock absorber during the test which obviously limited
the car’s performance and on track time.
“We take full responsibility for the car not being prepared at the test” said Team
3G co-owner Greg Beck. “Understandably, Leilani is very disappointed and we
will now turn our attention to providing Leilani with a winning car for next
season”. Team 3G will continue working hard towards putting together a strong,
full-season program for Leilani in the 2010 Indy Lights Series.
