As 2004 title fight enters final rounds
source: champcarworldseries.com As the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford prepares to take its title fight to the final two races of 2004, an exciting sense of promise has permeated the paddock area. A talent-laden driver lineup, prominent new sponsors signing multi-year deals, team and manufacturer commitments and the prospect of a strong 2005 schedule has the Champ Car World Series looking to the future with great anticipation. Champ Car has provided its legions of supporters with a season to be proud of and will continue to deliver the fast-paced action through the final two races of the schedule. Adding to the excitement is the opportunity for fans to see a brand-new name added to the pantheon of greats to have earned the title of Champ Car World Series Champion. Sebastien Bourdais (#2 McDonald's Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) has the inside track to capturing his first series championship, holding a 27-point lead with two races to run. Two-time series runner-up Bruno Junqueira (#6 PacifiCare Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) has stayed in the hunt on the strength of seven podium finishes while Patrick Carpentier (#7 Indeck Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) is still mathematically alive, although he will be eliminated from contention as long as Bourdais makes his final two starts. Things have been equally exciting off the track as well beginning with fast-food giant McDonald's joining the growing list of companies that have signed partnerships with Champ Car.
