<< McClaren builds almost 100% of the parts, with the exception of the 
engines, which come from Mercedes/Ilmore (originally Roger Penske's Chevy 
small block motors).  >>
Not exactly - How about "(IImore is the same source as the Chevy sponsored, 
Illmore designed, Indy race motor that Penske, and others used at Indy in the 
1990's)" - That is the correct description, No Chevrolet small block parts 
were used in the design of this motor, or any Ilmore motor.
It was a great insider report. I'm envious - All I got to do was watch and 
tape the race on Speedvision and Fox Sports.  - Seth Emerson
