TC Motorsports to Introduce Boss 302R at Homestead



Mustang Boss 302R

Auburn, WA, February 18, 2010—TC Motorsports will race a new 2010 Ford Mustang Boss 302R at the next Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC) race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida, on March 6, 2010. The team will take delivery of the car at Carolina Motorsports Park in South Carolina the first week of March.

The addition of the Boss 302R is a natural for the team, which successfully campaigned three FR500S Mustangs in the GRAND-AM-sanctioned Mustang Challenge series in 2008 and 2009. TC Motorsports Team Principal Carlo Sparacio says, “When the opportunity to work again within the Ford family presented itself, we decided to add the Boss 302R to our stable. We are excited to be working with Ford again and look forward to continuing and building our relationship with them.” Ted Anthony, Jr. and Rick Edwards will drive the Boss 302R at the Homestead 200 race in March.

TC Motorsports made its debut in the CTSCC in last month’s Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The #54 TC Motorsports Camaro GS.R of Anthony and Edwards finished 31st out of 40 cars in the Grand Sport (GS) class and 57th out of 76 cars overall. Contact during a first lap incident forced Edwards to race his way from 70th to 31st overall before pitting under a yellow flag to fuel the car, install new tires, and change drivers. Anthony continued to move up through the field to 20th in class as well as overall, but more contact later in the race bent a rear suspension component and forced the #54 to retire with only about 20 minutes remaining in the two and a half hour race.

The team is currently working on the #54 Camaro GS.R at its Mooresville, North Carolina, shop and has plans to continue its development of the car. “The Riley Camaro showed a lot of potential during the first race of the year. We’re looking forward to continuing to develop the #54,” says Sparacio.

Driving opportunities are available for funded drivers in the #54 TC Motorsports Camaro GS.R for the balance of the CTSCC season. For more information, please contact Team Principal Carlo Sparacio at info@tcmotorsports.net or 253-887-0500.
