LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 23, 2008) ? The University of Kentucky’s Solar Car Team completed the North American Solar Car Challenge Tuesday by reaching the race’s finish line in Calgary, Alberta.

"Gato del Sol III," the UK solar car, ended the race in 11th place, thereby achieving the team’s dual goals: qualifying for the race by passing a rigorous, multi-issue inspection, and traveling the entire 2,400-mile course from Plano, Texas, to Calgary.
