September 2 ,2006 , Pacific Coast Motorsports announced that it would enter two cars in the2007 Champ Car World Series Season , one of which was driven by Alex. The team struggled a bit with the new equipment and series but they were generally on race pace with teammateRyan Dalziel , who was let go from the team with two races remaining in the season. Figge's best finish was 8th place in the first race of the season at Las Vegas, which was fraught with attrition. Figge's struggles continued throughout the season, finishing towards the back of the field in most races.With the early 2008 merger of Champ Car with the
