Tomas Scheckter to get a couple more races on his schedule

Tomas Scheckter and his Luczo Dragon Racing, who seemed to be the dark horse to win the Indy 500 until broken driveshaft put him of the race with 44 laps to go, will get a couple more chances to get into victory lane. Along with the road race in Somona in August, the team will race at Texas in two weeks and Chicago in September.

"Given the strong performance of the car at the Indy 500, and the exceptional driving displayed by Tomas, we feel that it makes sense to expand our effort this season in order to position LDR as competitively as possible for our full run next year," Luczo Dragon co-owner Steve Luczo said. "Tomas has won at Texas before and we feel that this is a great opportunity to build on his and the team' success."

Scheckter's last Indycar win came at Texas in 2005 and of course he too is looking forward to these two extra races.

"I am really looking forward to Texas," said Scheckter. "I am so happy the team has decided to go. I have shot the guns in Victory Lane there before and I look forward to doing so again in a Luczo Dragon car. We really have a strong team. We have been getting better and better every weekend. We had impeccable stops at Indy and I look forward to the same kind of performance in Texas."
