TRG’s Chase for the Grand-Am Championships
 
PETALUMA, Calif., (September 7, 2007) - As TRG enters the home stretch of the ‘Chase for the Championships,’ it is involved in an intense battle to claim two prestigious GT-Class crowns – both of which will be decided at the season’s last race of 2007 at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, on September 15.
 
TRG is tied with Farnbacher-Loles for the Rolex GT Team Championship going into the final event.  Drivers RJ Valentine and Andy Lally are only five points out of the lead for the Rolex GT Drivers Championship.  TRG won two consecutive team championships in 2005 and 2006, as well as last year’s driver’s championship.  Earning a third GT Championship in a row would be another record for the TRG squad and one that it would relish.
 
“Here we are again right down to the wire, but I don’t know what could be more exciting,” said TRG team owner Kevin Buckler.  “The pressure will be intense, but that seems to be when the entire TRG squad is at its best.  Make ‘em longer, harder, more difficult or more complex and it just seems to suit our style.”
