John Finishes Fourth at Long Beach

Edwards Quote:
“I got a pretty good start but Robby just zoomed by past everyone! It was nice to be on his gearbox for the whole race; I knew if I got an opportunity to pass he wouldn’t do anything crazy but he was consistent and all I could do was stay close. (Franck) Perera was giving me trouble early in the race but as time went on the Red Bull car just seemed to keep working better and better. The Cooper tires were really good and I did my fastest laps near the end. After having kind of a bad weekend in Las Vegas I’m happy to get a good finish and start heading in the right direction. Now it’s on to Houston and another street circuit; by the time we get done there I may have this street racing thing figured out!”
