Gentilozzi started last at Portland due to a technical infraction and he went to the back in Cleveland due to his crashing his primary car in qualifying, forcing him to start in a back-up car.<BR> <BR> </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>
