Allmendinger, Hunter Reay, Matos Before these guys were on SPEED, they were getting tips on how to get there, faster,  from Negri. It's not a question of just telling you to brake later, get back to throttle sooner, and get your hands straight faster. Negri focuses on getting his drivers to understand the car better, so they can do those things on their own. And the proof is in the pudding, not just with the names that have big race contracts attached to them now, but also guys like Mark Patterson (2006 Trueman Award Winner) and John Pew (2006 Formula Mazda Masters Champion). Negri works with drivers at every level of the motorsports ladder, sharing lessons he learned against guys like Coulthard and Barrichello with drivers like you.
