TC Motorsports Commits to 2009 Ford Racing Mustang Challenge Series

Federal Way, WA, December 20, 2008—TC Motorsports officially announces today that it will campaign a four car arrive and drive program in the 2009 Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup Presented by BFGoodrich Tires. The team will provide two options for drivers wanting to race in the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge: 1) full arrive and drive support using a proven TC Motorsports FR500S Mustang, and 2) full arrive and drive support using your own FR500S Mustang. The Washington State-based team is now accepting inquiries about these comprehensive arrive and drive programs for 2009 (please direct all inquires to info@tcmotorsports.net).

Fully funded drivers who wish to go racing at a professional level have the opportunity to drive in this exciting series with a proven, successful, and professional team. During the 2008 Mustang Challenge season, TC Motorsports’ three car team netted three wins, three podium finishes, 11 top ten finishes, five front row starts, including two pole positions, and set the fastest race lap in two races. Both Carlo Sparacio and Rick Edwards finished in the top ten for series points (7th and 10th, respectively) and Andrew Caddell, who raced with TC Motorsports for the first three races of the season, went on to win the championship. The team also earned every award available in the series, including the BFGoodrich Take Control Award, the Barbasol Closest Shave Award, the Zantrex-3 Insta-Shot Award, and the Sunoco Setting the Standard Award.

What also makes TC Motorsports unique is they are the only Ford Racing Mustang Challenge arrive and drive rental company to have customer drivers win races in this competitive series.

Returning drivers to the TC Motorsports Ford Racing Mustang Challenge team will be Rick Edwards and Ted Anthony, Jr. Edwards returns after a successful 2008 season, finishing in the top 10 in the championship, and Anthony goes into the 2009 season after qualifying on the front row and winning the final Mustang Challenge race at Miller Motorsports Park. Both drivers are ones to watch in the 2009 driver’s championship.

As in 2008, TC Motorsports will provide competitive and proven Ford Racing Mustang FR500S race cars and full track side support to drivers who want to compete in this series. In addition, the team will offer full transportation and track side support for drivers who own their own FR500S race cars and would like professional assistance to maximize their time and potential on track. Drivers will have the advantage of running with the most successful and proven team in the series, enjoying benefits such as:

• Track side tuning by our experienced and professional crew
• Data sharing with other competitive drivers who have experience in the FR500S
• Professional driver coaches on hand to take maximum advantage of the time available during a busy race weekend.
