A third team this season for Dominguez source: Rocketsports Racing The 2006 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season has not been a smooth ride for Rocketsports Racing as the team has been looking for some solid runs and consistency throughout the year, but things just might change for the fourth-year Champ Car team with the signing of Mario Dominguez for the final three races of the year. The Mexican's season has been as bumpy as the team's in terms of consistency. He started the season driving the #7 car for Forsythe Championship Racing, but after four races, the driver and team parted ways. The Mexican veteran then moved to Dale Coyne Racing, where he piloted the #19 car for the next seven races, but when the opportunity came to move into the Rocketsports stable, Dominguez and the Michigan-based team both jumped at the opportunity. "We are pleased to have Mario join us for the final three races of the season," said Rocketsports Racing team owner Paul Gentilozzi. "We had been working on having a chance to run him this season, but it came sooner than expected. '' ''We were in discussions with some potential sponsors in Mexico to run him in 2007, with the anticipation of putting him in one of our seats at the season finale in Mexico City in preparation for next season. However, with the early separation of him and Dale Coyne, that plan changed in the last few days. So it will be great to be able to run him for three races as we continue to build a relationship between him and Mexico that can carry onto 2007."
