Battistini again fastest

In 2008 Battistini did well on ovals but was a backmarker on road courses

Dillon Battistini ended the second day of Indy Lights testing for Sam Schmidt Motorsport quickest again, this time on the Homestead Miami Oval. Battistini continued the form that enabled him to win four times during the 2008 season including the Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Superspeedway. Battistini, who is evaluating options for 2009, also topped the time sheets on the first day when running the Road Course at Homestead on Wednesday.

Dillon said “I am very impressed with Sam Schmidt Motorsport, I certainly enjoyed working with Tim on the engineering side, we tried a number of things on the chassis to dial the car to suit the conditions. We did not even try new tires at the end of the day like everyone else and still ended up quickest, so that tell you something doesn’t it. I would like to thank Sam and the whole team for their hard work and professional approach" Dillon Battistini Publicity Department
