Forgetable first day for Pacific Coast Motorsports

On the first day of rookie orientation at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Pacific Coast Motorsports couldn't get out of first gear.
The team couldn't even get on the track. Driver Mario Dominguez, considered a rookie at Indianapolis even though he is a veteran of the Champ Car World Series, did not participate in the first day of rookie orientation and will have to wait until Monday to begin the four-step program.
"Once we rolled through tech, three of the four wishbones on the car were deemed unusable by the series," said Tyler Tadevic, owner of the Oxnard-based team. "These are suspension pieces that we received with our car and we were not aware these parts are no longer being used."
As a result, the team's car was not allowed on the track. There are 13 rookies entered in the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500. Ten of them completed the rookie orientation program on Sunday.
Enrique Bernoldi completed three of the four phases and can complete the program at any point during the month.
Mario Moraes completed only three laps and Dominguez was the only rookie driver not to get on the track on Sunday.
Both drivers must complete the first three phases of the rookie orientation program Monday to remain eligible to compete in the Indy 500.
"The guys have been working hard, we're back to being rookies again," Tadevic said. "We disseminating tons of information trying to catch up and we'll make sure Mario gets through his orientation (Monday)."
