The years still don't quite match as the press release indicates this car ran in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Unless the two previous races weren't in consecutive years.
I had spent lots of time at Michigan International Speedway in my teen years, volunteering cleanup services after the races just to get closer to the drivers and cars. I had never before seen an engine sitting so close to the driver that he could hit it with his elbow when racing. Not even an explosion guard between engine and driver in this car!
Now if I could just find a photo of the interior to share.
