racer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Ford engines were eligible to be used in the first IRL championship in 1996 (as the series ran to CART's 1995 rules).

In 1997 the IRL formed it's own technical regulations, which stipulated normally-aspirated engines. Only GM & Nissan-Infiniti built engines at the time (until Toyota, Honda & Cosworth started developing IRL-spec engines in around 2002).

Ford were never excluded from the IRL, it was Ford who decided not to be involved.
