Drivers Strive for Solo Triad Award at Solo Nationals

LINCOLN, Neb. (Sept. 7, 2009) €“ A dozen drivers remain in contention for the SCCA Solo Triad Award at this week€™s Tire Rack® SCCA 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 SCCA Solo Triad will win a commemorative trophy and fleece, their name engraved on the perpetual SCCA 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 SCCA membership. The Solo Triad Award program would not have been possible without the support of SCCA Divisions for the Tire Rack SCCA Divisional Solo Championships. This year, eight of the nine SCCA Divisions participated, up from six in 2008, and all nine are expected to participate in 2010. Follow updates from the 2009 Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships on www.scca.com to see who, if any, can claim to be an inaugural Solo Triad Award winner.
