"I hope I can give them a ride in the IRL's two-seater at Pikes Peak International Raceway so they have an understanding of the physical and mental demands involved in racing," Scheckter said.

Carmichael will visit Scheckter at Pikes Peak International Raceway on Aug. 20 and ride with Scheckter in an Indy Racing Experience two-seater around the 1-mile oval.

"I'm very excited to be able to spend a day at Carmichael Training Systems working with Chris Carmichael and his staff in Colorado Springs," Scheckter said. "Getting the opportunity to work with a world-class Olympic cyclist and Lance Armstrong's coach is a dream come true. We'll be looking at my training routine, and they'll be doing an evaluation of my cycling style, diet, and mental approach to competition."

Scheckter, a native of Cape Town, South Africa, will meet with Chris Carmichael, the personal coach of six-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, for a day of fitness evaluation and cycling training.

Scheckter, driver of the No. 4 Pennzoil Panther Dallara/Chevrolet/Firestone, will spend the day at Carmichael Traning Systems in Colorado Springs, Colo., prior to racing in the Honda Indy 225 on Aug. 22 at Pikes Peak International Raceway in nearby Fountain, Colo.

The 23-year-old’s regular regimen of training includes running, cycling, swimming and weight lifting. But on Aug. 19, Scheckter’s fitness will get the ultimate test.
