MAzda RX-8--Rolex Sports Cars Series

[Phoenix7]

Apparently the #21 Pontiac took out the black 8.

SPEEDSOURCE (Emil Assentato, Jeff Segal – No. 69 Mazda RX-8; Sylvain Tremblay, Nick Ham – No. 70 Mazda RX-8) – The SpeedSource team has a lot of momentum on its side heading into the Mexico City 250 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The team is the defending race winner in the GT class (Sylvain Tremblay and Nick Ham), and Tremblay and Ham were joined by David Haskell and Raphael Matos in the team’s Rolex 24 At Daytona GT win in January. Only one point out of the driver and team point lead, a victory will put the No. 70 and its drivers back on top. And, in case the team doesn’t have enough momentum, its No. 69 and drivers Emil Assentato and Jeff Segal have top-10 GT finishes in both races in 2008, and Assentato co-piloted the No. 69 to a third-place finish at Mexico City last season.

LAST SERIES POLE POSITION: January 25, 2008 – Daytona International Speedway (GT; No. 70)

LAST SERIES RACE VICTORY: January 27, 2008 – Daytona International Speedway (GT; No. 70)
