Transporters arrive in Edmonton

EDMONTON – First came the Atlantic transporters and then, later in the afternoon, the IndyCar trailers began to slowly roll onto the cement of the Edmonton city centre airport.

Derrick Walker Racing's Atlantic trailers were first to arrive. Walker will be providing the crew for Paul Tracy's car in Saturday's Rexall Edmonton Indy and will be his race strategist. The car itself is being provided by Vision Racing and sponsored by Subway.

All corporate suites sold
Although Northlands hasn't released any figures for tickets sold to this point, they did reveal that all the corporate suites have been sold and only limited space remains in the Servus Credit Union Pit lane club.

"It's great to see Edmonton's corporate community embrace the Rexall Edmonton Indy as a one-of-a-kind hosting opportunity for their clients and staff," said Mike Burton, Northlands' director of major events.
