Cheever Benefits From New IRL Qualifying Rule in Texas
Eddie Cheever Jr. secured a seventh place in Fort Worth after the Indy Racing League trial of a two-lap plus third lap with a right-side tire change seed method. Cheever’s pit stop of 13.2 seconds was the night’s second-fastest, while Tony Stewart led with two laps over 216 mph and a 12.9-second pit. The format drew mixed reactions as some drivers, including A. J. Foyt, faced penalties or confusion, yet USAC later reinstated Buhl and another driver after clocking errors. About 10,000 fans watched the two-hour, TV-friendly session at Texas Motor Speedway with far more expected for Saturday under lights.
