CA Sport Team to Drive the CityDeals.com Acura in Koni Challenge
Added: (Thu Aug 28 2008)
Competition Associates (CA Sport) team heads to Tooele, Utah September 19-21, 2008 driving the CityDeals.com Acura in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Koni Sunchaser 1000.
The upcoming Grand-am Koni Sunchaser 1000 at Miller Motorsports Park will feature CA Sport racing team co-drivers Vesko Kozarov and Lara Tallman. The Koni race is considered a home race for the CA Sport team. The No. 67 CityDeals.com sponsored Acura, owned by Jeff and Aaron Morgan should be competitive on the 4.5-mile-long, 24-turn Miller course.
The racing action is ramping up in the Koni Sunchaser Series - as the season winds down. Kozarov and Tallman will take to the track and since it is a home race it should benefit them.
"The Koni Challenge races are exciting races to watch, not to mention drive in, with 60-plus cars in the combined ST and GS classes. The competition is tough, but it makes for great racing.” Tallman said.
Since it opened in 2006, Miller Motorsports Park has become a darling of the road race connoisseur. The track, with its multitude of possible layouts, quickly earned the reputation among drivers that designers had hoped it would, as one of the best facilities on the continent. Its no wonder Miller has attracted world-class series like the Koni Sunchaser 1000, Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car, Superbike, and American Le Mans series. The circuit is simply awesome.
Scores of motorsports competitors will descend on the Tooele, Utah, course. The lineup of racing provides several opportunities for the Mazda-inclined to get track time, whether it’s in the support races that include the KONI Challenge Series, the Rolex series’ GT class, the first-ever appearance at Miller Motorsports Park by the Cooper Tires Presents The Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda plus the new Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires, the SIRIUS Satellite Radio Mazda MX-5 Cup Series or the SCCA Spec Miata.
Last year’s thrilling fender-banging battle for the Rolex championship came down to the final laps of the seven-hour race. Don’t be surprised if it happens again.
