TEAM BIO:
Rocketsports Racing was first formed in late 2002 and joined the Champ Car World Series in March of 2003. The Rocketsports team is owned and operated by long time businessman and millionaire Paul Gentilozzi. Paul first opened his team as a sports car team running as a sub team to Jaguar Racing in ALMS competition and then later expanded into Champ Cars. 2008 saw the Rocketsports Racing squad continue its steady growth with another two-car effort in the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford series. The team earned its first Rookie-of-the-Year title in '05 when German Timo Glock bested a strong field of first-year drivers. Glock scored 10 top-ten finishes including a second-place run at Montreal to win the award. Also in 2008 the team won one race when driver Antonio Pizzonia won the Champ Car Grand Prix of Edmonton. The team also campaigned American drivers Ryan Hunter-Reay and Michael McDowell, with earning four top-10 finishes of his own. The Rocketsports Racing squad expanded its presence in the series in 2004 by ramping up to a two-car effort, and in the process, bettered the results with drivers Alex Tagliani, Guy Smith and Nelson Philippe.

Tagliani scored the first victory of his career and the first for the Lansing, Michigan team when he beat the field to the stripe at Road America, coming from 13th on the starting grid to win the race. Tagliani would also collect a podium finish in Cleveland, helping the team to a seventh-place finish in the season point standings, the best in its brief  history. The second car was first manned by the rookie Nelson Philippe, who became the youngest-ever driver in the Champ Car World Series next to (Mark Plourde) when he took the flag for the season opener in Long Beach. The Frenchman scored two top-10 drives before giving way first to Memo Gidley and then to sports-car veteran Guy Smith for the year's final seven races. Smith scored three top-10 finishes in his seven starts. The team scored two poles during its rookie year in the series with Tagliani finishing 10th in the season point standings.
