One Green Flag Lap for TC Motorsports at Barber

Auburn, WA, April 16, 2010--TC Motorsports finished 30th after completing only one green flag lap in the #14 Boss 302R after a multi-car incident during a restart at last weekend's Barber 200 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. The 30th place finish for Ted Anthony, Jr. and Rick Edwards is a major disappointment to the team, which has been improving its finishes since making its debut in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC) in January; the team finished 31st and 19th in the first two races of the season, respectively.

The drivers and car showed speed from the very first practice session of the event, where they finished 7th. During subsequent practice sessions, the team worked through some engine cooling issues with the #14 Boss 302R. This type of work was not surprising given that the Barber event was only the team's second race with the car. Once all of the bugs were worked out, Edwards showed a solid qualifying performance by setting his personal best lap time to put the #14 Boss 302R 17th for the start of Saturday's race.



Team Principal Carlo Sparacio said about the race, "We were really looking forward to this event because we had two wins at this track last year in Mustang Challenge. The drivers and team are extremely disappointed that our race was cut short due to some bad luck on the first restart of the race. The best we can tell is that someone up front brake checked the field, which created a chain-reaction pileup that took a bunch of good cars out of contention for the race. Right now, our heads are down and we're working hard to have the car ready for VIR."

The next CTSCC race is next Saturday, April 24, 2010, at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, VA. Get up to the minute updates and special offers from the team by becoming a fan on Facebook and following the team (@tcmotorsports) on Twitter!
