2006 CCWS Silly Season - Dale Coyne Racing

2006 CCWS Silly Season - Dale Coyne Racing




If history teaches us anything, don't look for this team to settle upon its driver lineup until entries close for the Long Beach race weekend. The Coyne team became something of a revolving door after Oriol Servia left the team for Newman-Haas and with Ronnie Bremmer going back to HVM the possibilities are endless.


 Drivers Status Recap Resume
Oriol ServiaPossible Left Coyne to replace Bruno Junqueria at Newman-Hass this year. If things don't work out for him with the Newman-Hass third car effort he could wind up back at Coyne in the sponsored American Medial Response car.
A six-year veteran of the series, Servia has spent most of time in the series driving for struggling teams. He was the Indy Lights champion in 1999 and has driven in French F3 and the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup series.
Fabrizio Del Monte Possible Made his debut at Long Beach driving in the woeful Jensen Motorsports car. He came back for the last two events o­nce he put the funding together to get the ride. He crashed out of Surfer's and didn't make the grid for Mexico owing to injuries sustained in a heavy shunt during practice. He will need to bring money to stay o­n the grid.Split 2005 between Champ Car and the Italian F3000 series. He was runner up in F3000 Euroseries in 2003 and 2004 and has run in German Formula 3, Italian Formula Renault, Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup, and the British Formula Renault winter series. He cut his racing teeth in 1999 driving Italian Formula Campus.
Ricardo SperaficoProbableDrove most of the year for Coyne and the Sperafico family enjoys a somewhat special relationship with both the series and the team. Brother Alex drove a couple of races for HVM in 2005 and has campaigned for Coyne in the past. As long as poppa Sperifico's tool and dye company does well at the bank, there always seems to be some loose change to be spent o­n the family's racing hobby.
Finished 17th in Champ Car this past year. He ran second in International F3000 in 2003, behind series champ Bjorn Wirdheim. Ricardo was fifth in the series driver points in both 2001 and 2002 - championship season for both Justin Wilson and Sebastien Bourdais - and he took the Italian F3000 title in 2000. He ran in South American F3 for two years, placed second in British Formula Ford in 1997 and won the British Formula Ford winter series title in 1996.
Rodrigo SperaficoPossibleAnother of the faster Sperifico brothers and thus another candidate for a pay seat o­n a pay team. He is the twin to Ricardo and has credentials to match his speedy sibling.
Drove in the Formula Nissan World series in 2004 and placed sixth in International F3000 in 2002. Rodrigo was forth in Italian F3000 in 2000 and has a couple of years experience in South American F3. He's also raced in British Formula Ford.
Alex Sperafico PossibleThe eldest the racing Sperificos and the best known to North American race fans. Alex lacks the credentials of his younger twin brothers, but has obviously has been game enough to get in the car o­n race day.Driven in Champ Cars for the last three year, albeit at the back of the pack. He ran in International F3000 in 2002, going up against a host of drivers who became names in F1, Champ Car or the IRL. Alex has run in South American F3 and the Barber Dodge Pro Series since entering racing in 1998.
Rafael SperaficoNot likelyThe young relative of the racing family hasn't been behind the wheel for the last two years, but like cousin Ricardo he has fought for a championship title in a junior series and has drive in an F3000 series.Last seen in the old F3000 Euroseries in 2003 where he finished 15th in points behind drivers like Fabrizio del Monte, Gianmaria Bruni, Nicky Pastorelli and Roman Rusinov (hardly household names). Rafael did run second in Barber Dodge Pro in 2002, running behind AJ Allmendinger, after a strong rookie season in the series in 2001 when he finished seventh in points.
