    Speed always has been part of Buddy Rice's life. The son of a former drag racer, Rice came to the IndyCar Series in 2002 after a running in the Toyota Atlantic Championship, where he won the 2000 series title for DSTP Motorsports. He started and finished second in his first-ever IndyCar Series race for Cheever Racing.
