Trinkler and Co-driver Cattaneo Are Third In Driver Points Championship. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) May 27, 2011 - GRAND - AM favorite, Owen Trinkler with co-driver, Sarah Cattaneo returns to Lime Rock Park Memorial Day Classic as part of the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series Season for RSR Motorsports. The duo is driving the #198 Cruise America/Thor Motorcoach/Flying J Mini Cooper S. Currently they are 3rd in Driver Points Championship and the RSR Motorsports #198 is currently 2nd in the Team Championship, just 4 points out of 1st. Limerock has always been a friendly course for Trinkler and he is looking to gain his competitive edge this weekend and keep his season momentum going.

"We are really happy with the progress we've made as a team with all our cars, and I couldn't be happier with the success that Sarah and I have had this year driving together," said Owen Trinkler. "Lime Rock is a track that fits the Mini well, and we've had some success there. Last year the race didn't go our way, but we did lead some practice sessions leading up to the race, so we know we can compete for the win and keep us in the Championship hunt."

Last week at the Bosch Engineering 250 at the Virginia International Raceway, Trinkler and Cattaneo finished in seventh place. This season RSR Motorsport is supported by Pilot, Flying J, Cruise America, Thor Motorcoach, and Mini USA as they campaign their fleet of Mini Cooper S race cars out of their Orlando, Florida race shop to take on a very strong challenge in the Street Tuner Class of the Continental Tire Challenge in 2011. The team and sponsors are looking forward to a strong 2011 racing season.
