Phillips, Kennedy and Melton score big wins to earn trips to Malaysia
The last day of competition at the 2005 Rotax Max Grand Nationals wrapped up in South Bend with a full day of wet weather racing on the challenging circuit. Rain began falling just as the last of the opening ceremonies were concluding and that led all finals for the Rotax National Championships being run on wet tires.

Phillips looks strong in Rotax International as close racing marks all classes
The second day of the Rotax Max Grand Nationals ran nearly flawlessly at the newly re-named Michiana Race Park in South Bend. With five classes of heat races, LCQs and Prefinals, it was a good day of competition with plenty of action throughout the fields. Rain fell briefly before the LCQ’s, which made those events interesting but only one driver gambled on dry tires. That paid off for Joel Jackson (Haase) as he ran from the back of the pack to second place in the 20-lap qualifier.
