Fall-Line Motorsports Press Release
Kansas
City, KS (August 15, 2013) - The Fall-Line Motorsports GT program rolled into
Kansas Speedway earlier this week with high expectations. With just two full
events under their belts, the newly-formed Fall-Line GRAND-AM Audi R8 team will
contest the SFP Grand Prix at the brand new road course configuration at the
Kansas Speedway.
The
Kansas track is a high-speed/low down-force track well suited for the R8.
Fall-Line is hoping to better last month's top-ten finish at the Indy race
which shares similar track performance properties to Kansas. Behind the
wheel of the #46 Fall-Line Motorsports entry will be team owner Mark Boden
along with his regular Continental Sports Car Challenge driver Bryan Sellers.
Bryan
Sellers: "I
am really looking forward to driving the Audi R8 GRAND-AM this weekend. Audi
and Fall-Line Motorsports teamed together is a great combination. They have
both come together with the same goal of having a competitive race package and
I'm excited to play a role in it."
Mark
Boden: "I
am looking forward to my turn to get behind the wheel of our sweet new machine!
It is always great to drive with Bryan (Sellers) and I am looking forward to
seeing all of the hard work we put into the car the past few months to use. We
know that this car had success at Daytona earlier this year so we are hopeful
that we can expect similar success this weekend. I am looking forward to the
challenge of driving in both series (CTSCC and Rolex) and also racing under the
lights! It should be a good weekend."
Michael
Harvey, Team Manager:
"Kansas brings many unknowns since
it is the first time any series has used the track for major competition. In a
short amount of time Fall-Line and our Audi Sport Customer Racing partners have
analyzed an immense amount of data and subsequently we anticipate Fall-Line
will be competitive. The support we have received from Brad (Kettler) and his
team at Audi Sport Customer Racing has been unbelievable as we continue to
evolve our racing team's performance."
