It's a "win/win" situation for all......Graham Rahal should be happy as there have been a couple radio conversation sform Graham to his crew with Graham not being happy when he was the faster driver but Doornbos not moving over.....(Sounds a bit like AGR follies...)

Doornbos lost 15(!) laps last race because the team had problems changing a rear wheel on his car, and that's not the first time he had problems like that. Almost every race weekend Robert's comments on friday were very positive and his speed was good, but on saturday the team would change the set up of his car and he was slower and the car harder to drive, which resulted in a bad qualifying position.

Great to see that he's already found a seat so he can defend his lead in the 'rookie of the year' standings.

Seems like both Sebastian Bourdais & Graham Rahal had/have no problems with that team ;)

Keep in mind that NHL only has one year of experience with IRL cars, they've had a lot of success the last couple of years but with the Champ cars.
Anyway I hope Robert will have a few good races in the remainder of this season to really show what he can do.
