 Mosport
International Raceway, Bowmanville, Ontario was the place where the Grand-Am
Cup racers, and the Hoosier Racing Tire crew found themselves this weekend. On
a 2.459-mile road race course filled with turns, bends and curves, and bitter
cold rainy weather for June.
BOWMANVILLE, Ontario, Canada (June 18, 2005) -- Mosport
International Raceway. David Empringham, the Toronto native used all of his
experience to take advantage in Saturday's Grand-Am Cup Series Mosport 200 as
he charged into the lead on Lap 49 of the 82-lap race and never looked back en
route to his second victory of the season for the Grand Sport (GS) class.
Empringham and co-driver Gunnar Jeannette combined to lead 73
laps in their No. 05 Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT, and Empringham
held off a late charge by Boris Said in the No. 99 Anchor Racing BMW M3 to win
by 1.317 seconds. Both Empringham and Jeannette now have two victories from the
first six Grand-Am Cup Grand Sport (GS) races, and both drivers scored all of
their wins in the No. 05 Mustang, which has now won three races.
Tim Gilvin product manager for Hoosier Racing Tire said
"after putting up our back drop / wind shields to help keep some of the
cold windy weather off of us, the track service team set up and we got to
business, mounting tires and servicing all teams with the normal pride and
commitment to service as always."
