Auburn, WA, May 13, 2009—TC Motorsports heads to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA this weekend for Round 6 of the 2009 Ford Racing Mustang Challenge. The event will be held May 14–17 in conjunction with the Verizon Festival of Speed. The weekend will feature races from the Grand Am Daytona Prototype and GT series, the Koni GS and ST series, as well as the Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup.
TC Motorsports is rolling into California with its three red and blue-liveried cars ready for action. After traveling to races across the country in Florida, Alabama, and New Jersey, Laguna Seca in California is almost like a home race for the Washington State-based team.
Joining the team for his second time in Ford Racing Mustang Challenge is Steve Miller from Seattle, WA. Miller will drive the #8 TC Motorsports FR500S, in which he made his series debut last year at Miller Motorsports Park during the final two races of 2008. Rick Edwards will continue his run in the championship driving the #7 TC Motorsports/ edwardsdds.com FR500S, and Ted Anthony, Jr. will shoot for his 5th win in the series and attempt to move closer to the championship lead driving the #9 TC Motorsports FR500S.
TC Motorsports comes off of a very successful weekend in New Jersey two weeks ago for Round 5 of the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge, with Anthony setting the fastest times in every test and practice session, and missing the pole position by a mere 0.008 of a second. Anthony had a great race in the rain, finishing a strong 4th place, and secured points to keep him solidly in 2nd place in the overall championship. Edwards started 5th and finished 12th in the wet conditions and is now in 7th place in the overall championship.
Also during the May 2nd weekend, for the first time it its history, TC Motorsports simultaneously campaigned two multi-car arrive and drive racing operations on opposite coasts. With one event in New Jersey and the other in Washington State, the team formed two completely independent arrive and drive operations, one operating a fleet of factory-built Ford Racing Mustang FR500Ss and the other operating a fleet of TC Motorsports-built Spec Miatas.
TC Motorsports is a unique motorsports company in that it offers winning arrive and drive opportunities to talented drivers in all levels of motorsports, from local club racing to national level professional racing series, across the country.
