Patrick Barrett Makes His Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Debut

... at Virginia International Raceway this Sunday, April 27th

Patrick Barrett will make his Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series debut in the Bosch Engineering 250 at Virginia International Raceway this Sunday, April 27th.

2007 Team USA Scholarship winner and 2007 Pacific F2000 Champion Barrett will co-drive the PR1 Motorsports/Kolliner-Long Gallery Pontiac GXP.R with Canadian Mike Forest.

The 18 year old from Los Osos, California will contest the premiere North American endurance sports car road racing series with the team that he dominated the Pacific F2000 Championship in 2007.

"I’m really excited about competing in my first Grand-Am race this weekend. I’ve been working extensively with PR1 Motorsports throughout the off season to develop our knowledge of the Pontiac GXP.R." says Barrett. "The car is a big step up from the much lighter open wheel cars that I competed in last year, but I’ve been learning a lot about driving the heavy GT."

Barrett’s race car is a rear wheel drive Pontiac G6 GXP.R with a tubular space-frame steel chassis and carbon-fiber and steel body which is home to a 6.0L LS2 V-8 that produces 450 brake horsepower and is mated to a 5-speed manual sequential gearbox.

SPEED TV will show the Bosch Engineering 250 at 9 AM PDT on both Saturday May 3rd and on Monday May 5th. Visit www.PatrickBarrettRacing.com for more on Patrick, and his sponsors at www.KollinerLongGallery.com  and www.Alpinestars.com.

You can go to www.Grand-Am.com  and www.PR1motorsports.com  to find out more about Grand-Am and PR1.
