First of 2012 chassis delivered to Dallara in Indiana

Dallara Automobili is shipping two 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series chassis per day from its Italy headquarters to its Speedway, Ind., temporary facility through next week to fulfill the initial batch ordered by teams.

Dallara associates will complement with items delivered to the U.S. technical base — wiring looms, radiators, etc. — for team pickup starting Dec. 15. Engine manufacturers Chevrolet and Honda are continuing on-track evaluation with their own Dallara chassis through mid-December. The next session is scheduled for Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., at the end of the month.

Dallara officials expect to move into their new design and production facility on Main Street in Speedway, Ind., in early January.
