Andersen Racing Earns One Top-Five
And Two Top-10s in Star Mazda Action
At Iowa Speedway Saturday Night

NEWTON, Iowa, June 19 - Andersen Racing's Anders Krohn finished fifth,
newcomer Nick Andries placed sixth, Tristan Vautier was eighth and Mikael
Grenier ran second for about 35 laps until trouble struck at the halfway point of
the Pizza Ranch 100 Saturday at Iowa Speedway. The 100-lap race was the
fifth of 13 races in the 2010 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear.

Unofficially Krohn is now second in the point standings, Grenier is fourth,
Vautier is sixth and Andries, who has only done two races, is 23rd.

The team experienced excessive wear with their cars' right-front tires, and
all but Andries made pit stops to change that tire during the race.

Grenier started third but vaulted into second place at the start. At times
he was only 1 second or 1.5 seconds behind the polesitter and eventual
winner, Conor Daly, but Daly had a 3-second lead over him on lap 34 before it
became evident that Grenier was dealing with some problems.

On lap 35 the 17-year-old from Stoneham, Quebec dropped from second to
fourth, and he had slipped to seventh by lap 40. Two laps later he pitted under
green to change his tire, which dropped him to ninth. He advanced one spot
but then with 48 laps down he spun on cold tires and backed into the Turn 2
wall to bring out the event's only full-course caution flag. He suffered a
bruised knee in the crash and his car, which is sponsored by Slow Cow
relaxation drink, April Super Flow, NAPA Auto Parts, HS Telecom and Desharnais,
was done for the evening. Grenier had held the second-fastest lap of the
race until that point.

Krohn, of Stavanger, Norway, started fourth. He dropped back to sixth
initially when a rival ahead of him missed a shift, and ran in that spot until
Grenier dropped back to advance Krohn's No. 47 to fifth. Krohn pitted for a
tire change on lap 58 under the full-course yellow for Grenier's accident, but
due to the Palmetto, Fla.-based team's excellent pit work he was still
sixth when the race restarted on lap 63.

Krohn, who is sponsored by Trallfa Industries, Colosseum Dental and Norse
Cutting & Abandonment, passed Andries on that restart and they ran in fifth
and sixth place until the finish.

Andries, of Pinellas Park, Fla., started 12th and advanced the most
positions of anyone on the team Saturday even though this was only his second Star
Mazda event and his first oval-track race in a formula car. He broke into
the top-10 on lap 13, got ninth on lap 21, and moved up to eighth when
Vautier dropped a spot on lap 25. He got seventh when Grenier pitted and sixth
when Chris Miller did the same. He was fifth for a few laps under the yellow
while others pitted, and finished sixth after Krohn passed him on the restart.

Andries' car advertised Julie Studer's new book about the Indianapolis 500
entitled "Indy 500: An American Icon;" Team Pelfrey and Andersen Racing's
primary sponsor, Allied Building Products Corp. The book may be ordered
on-line through Indy500AnAmericanIcon.com.

Vautier, of Corenc, France, started eighth and finished eighth. He had his
hands full battling both an understeer condition and tire problems
throughout the race with his car, which is sponsored by Moulin T.P., Cecibon, Circuit
du Laquis, Fontanel Promotion and Allied Building Products Corp.

Vautier, who won the season opener at Sebring, Fla., was tenth when he
pitted for a new right-front Goodyear tire under green on lap 35, losing a
couple laps and dropping to 14th. He was back in the top-10 right before
Grenier's accident, and got eighth under yellow when others pitted.

The drivers don't have long before they can try again, as the series will
stage a doubleheader next weekend, June 26-27, at New Jersey Motorsports Park
in Millville, N.J. It will be carried live on HDNet. Live timing and
scoring will also be available on the series' Web site at startmazda.com.

Post-race quotes follow:

Anders Krohn: "At the start of the race a guy in front of me missed a shift
or something and I had to brake, which is why I fell back at the start.
Then I had too big an aero push to get around anybody.

"Maybe 15 laps into the race I was dealing with big chunks of rubber coming
off my right-front tire, a massive push and a big vibration, but I kept
going. Then when the safety car came out we pitted under yellow to change the
tire. The team did a great pit stop; they were like a Formula 1 or an IZOD
IndyCar Series pit crew, and we didn't lose a lap. That was massive!

"On the restart I was able to pass about five or six cars on the outside.
Some of them were lapped cars, but I was happy to get up to fifth.

"About 20 laps to go I got the vibration again and I thought I was going to
crash about 15 times in the last 15 laps. It was one of the toughest races
ever.

"We're always up there, but the bad part is that I haven't won a race. To
be able to do a pit stop and still get a top-five finish is remarkable.

"My teammates and I are pushing each other so hard to make it happen
because the guys deserve a win; they really do! I want to reward this team with a
win so bad!"

Nick Andries: "Geoff and Steve and the whole Andersen Racing team made it
really easy to adapt to my first oval-track race. The environment on this
team is great. My car was solid and consistent. With about 25 laps to go I
was as fast as I'd been all race.

"I didn't have to pit, but I only had a few laps left on my right-front
tire. We talked about pitting under the yellow, but I didn't feel any
vibration so I stayed out. Looking at the tire now, I was lucky to finish.

"I want to thank the team; my parents; my sponsors, the book 'Indy 500: An
American Icon,' Team Pelfrey and Allied Building Products Corp., and
everybody back home who was watching the race on the Internet. I'm sure they had a
computer hooked up to the biggest screen they could find!"

Tristan Vautier: "I had a proper start even though I was on the outside,
which was quite tough. I tried to work with Chris Miller but he must not have
seen me or something and I had to brake and I lost a lot of time.

"Pretty soon I could see that my right-front tire was not going to last.
Chunks of rubber were coming off, and I didn't want it to explode. So about
the 20th lap or so they called me into the pits.

"I thought my race was done; I didn't know they were going to change my
tire and send me back out. The team did a very good job in the pits. We lost
some laps, but when I got back onto the track I was fast. But then the
understeer was coming back. I had nothing to gain so I kind of backed off to just
finish and get some points, although I was really quick at the end of the
race.

"We were fighting all weekend with an understeer on my car, and we didn't
manage to solve it. It was a hard weekend. But now we're going back to the
road courses next weekend. Hopefully all the hard work the team does will
pay off soon."

Mikael Grenier: "I was second for awhile. But then my right-front tire was
going flat, so we pitted to change it. Then I lost the car on cold tires in
Turn 2 and backed it into the wall. My knee is sore, but that's it."
