Valiante wins Snap-on All-Stars Karting Classic at PRI
Michael Valiante |
Champ Car's Nelson Philippe was the fastest qualifier and won the heat race comfortably, but ran into trouble in the final and that opened the door for Grand-Am driver Michael Valiante to win. Valiante always had dreams of being a Champ Car driver but the funding never materialized. Today was his day to shine against some of the best professional drivers around in equal equipment.
