Alex Barron: Target Toyota
built 616 days ago
Alex Barron (Red Bull Toyota) notched a pair of top-10 finishes with a 10th in 2002 and 2004. Jimmy Kite (Ethanol Toyota) placed ninth in 1997, while Jaques Lazier was 10th in 1997.

Barron succeeded in the American Toyota Atlantic series, winning that championship in 1997 under the watchful eye of Lynx Racing which has re-organized as Polestar Racing Group. In 1998, he moved up to drive for Dan Gurney's Champ Car team and stayed there in 1999 before moving to Roger Penske's team following a tragic accident that claimed the life of Uruguay's first Champ Car driver, Gonzalo Rodriguez. He drove a few events in that series in 2000 and 2001, coming close to upset victories on a couple of occasions.

- Scott Dixon (Target Toyota) and Alex Barron (Red Bull Toyota) placed ninth and tenth to give Toyota five of the top-10 today. It’s the fifth top-10 for Dixon and the third for Barron.

As the Indy cars head to Gateway Speedway this weekend, Barron comes in with some momentum from his thrilling victory at Michigan two weeks ago but no job security to speak of. He'll continue to sub for the injured Felipe Giaffone in Nunn's G-Force/Toyota in Sunday's show here and probably Sparta, Ky., and Nazareth, Pa., before Giaffone returns for the final three races of 2003.
