Worth his weight in gold

UPDATE Hildebrand (pictured right) said that yes, Zimicki has been a big help but it has been more than just him. It has been the entire team improving their game. "We are a one-car team so we're on our own trying to find the right setup. Sometimes we don't come off the truck with a good setup and we have to scramble to catch up. We think we are starting to get a handle on this car though and for the rest of the year we think we will be much more competitive."

06/24/07 American youngster JR Hildebrand was not getting the results he or his team expected in Champ Car Atlantics this year so he has been talking to the same driver coach that Graham Rahal uses, Mike Zimicki (pictured right), and we're not sure what advice he may have given him but today in Cleveland he pushed race winner and series dominating driver Raphael Matos right to the end finishing just 0.5 seconds behind.
