Da Matta to appear on Wind Tunnel
04/25/08 Popular Brazilian open-wheel racer Cristiano da Matta recently returned to the cockpit after his horrific Elkhart Lake crash in 2006, turning impressively fast and poised laps in the Bob Stallings/Gainsco Racing #99 Riley-Pontiac Daytona Prototype at the Eagles Canyon track in central Texas.
With SPEEDtv.com on hand to witness da Matta's triumphant test, and an exclusive video of the magical day we've captured, the announcement of his pairing with fellow CART champion Jimmy Vasser in a second Stallings car at Laguna Seca, May 18th, was quickly forthcoming.
Now, less than a month from his return to competition, da Matta is ready to join Dave Despain on the set of SPEED's popular Wind Tunnel chat show on Sunday.
