SURFERS PARADISE, Australia Oct. 26, 2008 —Vitor Meira drove an impressive race in the No. 14 ABC Supply car despite some adversity in the Nikon Indy 300 on the streets of Surfers Paradise Sunday afternoon.
Meira qualified 11th and started alongside Mario Moraes. On the opening lap, Moraes forced his way to the inside of Meira going through the first chicane. The two made contact with Meira sustaining a left rear tire puncture. Moraes continued on but five laps later, he hit the wall and spun, ending his day.
“Moraes tried to pass me after the second corner in a chicane where there was clearly nowhere to pass and took us out,” said Meira. “I was really being careful but some things you can’t control. I was so mad because I had an awesome car. If that hadn’t happened, we would have had at least a 7th but coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn’t really matter.”
