MERRILL CAIN: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us on today's Champ Car Atlantic Championship media teleconference. I am Merrill Cain with the Cooper Tires Presents The Champ Car Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda. I'm pleased to welcome to the call today the two new drivers for the Forsythe Championship Racing Atlantic team who will be going after the Atlantic title in 2007, 17-year-old Robert Wickens of Toronto, Canada, and 15-year-old John Edwards of Little Rock, Arkansas. Robert and John, thanks for joining us on the teleconference today.

Robert and John are both products of the Red Bull Junior Team driver development program and the Forsythe team welcomes Red Bull as the primary sponsor for both cars this season.

We're also joined today by John Brunner, team manager for the Forsythe Atlantic team. He's here to talk about the team's outlook for 2007.

We'd also like to welcome Peter Davies, senior vice president of business development for Forsythe Racing, who can talk about how the relationship with the Red Bull program came together to work with Robert and John for the upcoming season.
