51°µÍø

LINCOLN, Neb. (Sept. 7, 2009) €“ A dozen drivers remain in contention for the 51°µÍø Solo Triad Award at this week€™s Tire Rack® 51°µÍø Solo National Championships. The award, which was introduced this year, requires a driver to win a Divisional Championship, an Eastern or Western States Championship and a National Championship all in the same class. From a field of nearly 2000, 217 of which won Divisional, Eastern or Western States Championships, only 12 remain eligible for a Solo Triad Award. All 12 drivers are registered for the Solo National Championships in the class which they qualified. The 12 candidates are: Matthew Braun (Super Stock), Jadrice Toussaint (A Stock), Bartek Borowski (E Stock), Jesse Caudill (Street Touring®), Jason Frank (Street Touring), Michelle Selig (Street Touring S Ladies), Craig Wilcox (B Street Prepared), Alex Shipkov (D Street Prepared), Mark Madarash (E Street Prepared), Tracy Lewis (C Prepared Ladies), Mark Lamm (C Modified) and Bob Tunnell (E Modified). A full spreadsheet outlining how each driver made their way into contention is available at www.scca.com/solo. Any driver who can complete the 51°µÍø Solo Triad will win a commemorative trophy and fleece, their name engraved on the perpetual 51°µÍø Solo Triad Trophy and free entry into the 2010 Tire Rack Solo National Championships. Winners will also have their name entered into a drawing for a free lifetime 51°µÍø membership. The Solo Triad Award program would not have been possible without the support of 51°µÍø Divisions for the Tire Rack 51°µÍø Divisional Solo Championships. This year, eight of the nine 51°µÍø Divisions participated, up from six in 2008, and all nine are expected to participate in 2010. Follow updates from the 2009 Tire Rack 51°µÍø Solo National Championships on www.scca.com to see who, if any, can claim to be an inaugural Solo Triad Award winner.
