Greetings From Denver

It was an exciting first day at the race track as I got to watch the qualifying session for today's race. The car we're most concerned with, Steve Ott's #35 car with Newman Wachs Racing qualified 19th on the grid for today's race. His teammate, Joe D'Agostino, qualified in 17th.

Though the race won't be televised until August 19 at 3:00 p.m. U.S. EDT on Speed Channel, you can watch today's race live through the Champ Car Atlantic Web site. The race starts at 1:15 p.m. U.S. EDT/11:15 a.m. U.S. MDT.

Here are some photos from Saturday. We should have shots of the nuclear decals on the car sometime tomorrow.
