During the race broadcast, someone mentioned that no driver had ever finished three Cleveland races in a row. Did some checking, and Tagliani did, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Did I misunderstand the comment?

I was listening to the racebroadcast on my scanner and that was the impression I got.

Good catch

No that is what they said. I had a hard time believing it.

It surprised me as well, but given the usual heat as well as turns 1 and 8 it does sound feasible.
