Kanaan to join Herta at Laguna Seca
Tony Kanaan will join Bryan Herta at the wheel of the Andretti Green Racing Acura ARX-01a in the final race of the ALMS season at Laguna Seca
It will be Kanaan's third appearance during the 2007 ALMS season following his races in Sebring and Petit Le Mans.
"I'm really happy to be driving in the final ALMS event of the season," Kanaan, third in this year's IndyCar championship, said.
"Unfortunately the Petit race didn't go like we'd hoped but we had a very strong showing at Sebring and I know Bryan (Herta) and I want to help Acura end the season on the same high that we started it on.
"I had some success at Laguna Seca in my CART days and I'm looking forward to getting back there."
AGR boss Michael Andretti added: "Tony was the logical choice for us at Laguna Seca. Not only has he proven himself as one of the top race car drivers in the world today but he showed everyone at Sebring that he's capable of putting the XM Acura in victory lane.
"Tony and Bryan have both been successful at Laguna Seca in the past and we hope that continues into the ALMS car."
