Quote selected text Published November 28th, 2006 in Main
IndyCar Series champions Tony Kanaan (pictured right) and Dan Wheldon will attempt to win their third straight 500 Milhas Granja Viana this weekend at Kartódromo Da Granja Viana near Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Kanaan, Wheldon and Formula 1 star Rubens Barrichello will share two karts as they try to defend their title. The trio will join race host and IndyCar Series veteran Felipe Giaffone in one kart and with World Touring Car driver Augusto Farfus in another.
“Karting is my passion, and I always have a lot of fun racing, especially with a lot of friends wheel to wheel,” said Kanaan, who along with Barrichello have won six of the previous nine 500-mile races.
IndyCar Series drivers Helio Castroneves and Vitor Meira are also listed on the pre-race entry list. Meira will share a kart with Christian Fittipaldi and Mario Haberfeld, while Castroneves will drive with Cristiano Federico, Renato Russo and Daniel Serra.
Indy Pro Series driver Jaime Camara will drive with Giaffone, Carlos Barrichello and Otavio Mesquita.
