2008 Rexhall Champ Car Grand Prix of Edmonton Free Practice 1:
Free Practice One was the start of what should be a great Champ Car weekend in Edmonton. And if the signs from the session tell us anything, this will not be another Paul Tracy walk though.
The session was quite clean, with only Adam Carroll taking the rookie spin in the hairpin. But he started right back up and ran what was a good session.

“Climbing into a car that has had some trouble was something that was a challenge, as the team was still coming to grips with the handling of the car, but we worked around it and we like our 14th fastest run.”
Fastest in FP1 was Rocketsport driver, Neel Jani, who with a 59.012 was only 2 hundredths of a second faster than Newman Haas Lanigan star Justin Wilson.
Justin had this to saw about what is starting out as a good weekend, “It’s great to be back up on top of the charts. Many said jumping in this car would mean a championship and wins, and I starting to think that in testing, but was I really wrong. It’s been a difficult season, but starting off Free Practice with a top 5 run is a great way to start off the weekend.”
Rounding out the top 5 were Paul Tracy in third with a lap of 59.078 seconds, Alex Tagliani with a 59.121 second fast lap, and Will Power with a 59.195.
The session also saw some fast laps by some unlikely drivers. EJ Viso, who has had some good fast laps, was 7th fastest and Mario Dominguez was 9th fastest.
