Send another free basket of goodies to the Conquest Racing team, this time in the name of Enrique Bernoldi.
The former Formula One driver will join Franck Perera for testing on the Sebring International Raceway circuit March 19-20, the team announced.That F1 experience includes 28 starts in 2001 and 2002 with a highest finish of 8th. And in case you were wondering, yes he's Brazilian.
Bernoldi will drive the No. 36 Dallara/Honda/Firestone, beginning in the GAINSCO Auto Insurance Indy 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Perera was named last month to drive the No. 34 car for the team that is transferring from the Champ Car World Series.
