Mike Conway celebrating his win at the first race in the Dual in Detroit in 2013.

Mike will get lots more starts driving the road and street courses
for Ed Carpenter Racing in 2014.

A Good Day for Mike Conway

First he wins the pole for tomorrow's second race in Detroit.

Then, he follows that up by winning today's first race in Detroit.

All that when he just flew in from England earlier in the week and got very little practice in a car he never sat in before.

Not bad.

Congratulations Mike and Dale Coyne Racing!
