"We are very grateful to TorcUP of Canada to be supporting us. Hopefully we can thank them with good results on Sunday," said team owner Eric Bachelart regarding the new partnership deals.
TorcUP of Canada President Colin Livingston states, "I met Alex at a sponsorship summit for the Edmonton Indy in March 2009. We ended up speaking for nearly 2 hours about the benefits of car sponsorship and driver endorsements and quickly saw that he is as dedicated to his sponsors as we are to our customers. Not only is Alex the ideal representative for TorcUP of Canada he has proven this season that he is one of the greatest drivers in the world".
Arriving to the first race of the season in St. Petersburg, FL having not been in the car for 6 months, had minimal practice and still qualified 9th out of over 20 cars and set the 2nd fasted lap time of the weekend, finishing in 10th place in the race despite a 1st lap altercation and having a car flatten his tire mid-race. He backed up his solid performances in St. Pete and Long Beach with his performance in the world's biggest race: The Indianapolis 500.
