A decision to participate in a fifth race is pending.<BR> <BR> "Our focus is to be on the podium in these remaining ALMS races," said Doug Duchardt, GM Racing group manager for Team Cadillac. "The Cadillac Northstar LMP 02 has performed well in our testing since Le Mans, and we believe that we have six quality drivers who can put Team Cadillac on the podium at any of the remaining races."<BR> <BR> Duchardt said, Team Cadillac will race in Cadillac Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. on July 21, 2002, the Grand Prix at Mosport in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, on Aug. 18, 2002, the Monterey Sports Car Championship in Monterey, California, on Sept. 22, 2002 and the Petit Le Mans in Atlanta, Georgia, on Oct. 12, 2002.<BR> <BR> Cadillac is studying details of the Miami, Florida race (Grand Prix of the Americas) scheduled for Oct. 5, 2002, and will make a decision to participate at a later date, said Duchardt.<BR> <BR> Wayne Taylor, part of Team Cadillac management, announced the driving duties for the upcoming races.

He said that the development testing and sprint races - Washington, D.C., Mosport, and Monterey -- will give Team Cadillac a chance to keep the entire team prepared for the season finale at Petit Le Mans.<BR> <BR> "We'll give each pilot a chance to drive the all-new Cadillac Northstar LMP 02 prior to Petit Le Mans," he said. "And, we'll get JJ Lehto more time in the car and the opportunity to work with the team. There is a lot to learn from a new car even as we progress through the season. We want to give Team Cadillac every opportunity to achieve success in the races remaining with a special eye on the Petit Le Mans race to close the year."</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
