Barrett returns at Motegi

Former stuntman Stanton Barrett will make his comeback to the IndyCar Series in Japan this weekend. With just two races remaining on the 2009 schedule, the Team 3G driver returns having last raced in Milwaukee on the final weekend of May.         

Following a practice crash ahead of The Milwaukee Mile, Barrett has been replaced by Jaques Lazier and Richard Antinucci but is delighted to be taking the reigns in the cockpit once again as the championship makes its annual trip to Asia.

"I am thrilled to be back in IndyCar for the Japan race and plan on coming back strong," commented the Californian. "I am excited to have this opportunity with publisher Bantam Books, having 'Family Affair' as one of our sponsors; it's very exciting to share three things I love and have a passion for - the movie business, great creative novels and motor racing.

"For the first time in my career, I have the opportunity to run a sponsorship from someone who is part of the film industry, which I have worked in for over 22 years."
