Infineon Raceway Drag Racing Team to Receive Motor Sports Press Association Award
Infineon Raceway
SONOMA, Calif. (July 16, 2009)
The Infineon Raceway Drag Racing Team will be presented with the Drag Racers of the Year Award by the Motor Sports Press Association at the FRAM Autolite NHRA Nationals on Sunday, July 26.
The award will be presented on Sunday morning during pre-race ceremonies prior to the start of final eliminations at Infineon Raceway.
The Infineon Drag Racing Team, which is comprised of 68 drag racers from Northern California, beat 13 teams from across the western United States to win the NHRA Summit Racing Series Pacific Division title at Top Gun Raceway in Fallon, Nev., last September. This marked Infineon Raceway's second Summit Racing Series championship in three years.
“I am so proud of our team and very honored to receive this award,” said Georgia Seipel, Infineon Raceway drag strip manager and team manager. “All these dedicated racers work so hard for the team, and it’s great to see them recognized.”
The Motor Sports Press Association, which annually honors outstanding performances of motor-sports athletes, was founded in 1964 and is comprised of professional motor-sports journalists, photographers and electronic media specialists, primarily from Northern California. The members reach an audience of more than 50 million people combined.
