Keohane knocking on IndyCar door

Irish racing driver Michael Keohane hopes he can secure a seat in the 2005 IndyCar series in the US after he conducted a successful test for race winning IRL team Dreyer & Reinbold Racing on Monday.

The 24-year-old from west Cork, who is a former British F3 race winner, drove the team's Chevrolet-powered Dallara at Texas Motor Speedway and impressed the Indianapolis-based outfit with his pace during the shorter-than-planned run at the 1.5-mile oval.
