U.S. F2000 DRIVER NAMED TO TEAM USA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. F2000 DRIVER NAMED TO TEAM USA

	FAIRFIELD, N.J. (November 5, 2001)—This past weekend U.S. F2000 National
Championship driver Bryan Sellers was awarded the prestigious Team USA
Scholarship.
	Sellers, of Centerville, Ohio, was one of two drivers, along with A.J.
Allmendinger, selected from a list of 12 drivers. Sellers earned the
selection following a forum at the Honda Grand Prix of Monterey, where he
met with a panel of auto racing writers and Team USA supporters, and
contested a shootout at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Jim Russell Racing
Drivers School cars.
	In 2001, Sellers contested a limited campaign in U.S. F2000, running eight
races with two different teams. He captured two top-10 finishes, with a best
finish at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, when he moved up seven positions
in the race, finishing seventh.
	Begun in 1990, the Team USA Scholarship was created to assist aspiring up
and coming American drivers. By establishing contacts in the racing
industry, meeting various team, chassis and engine representatives, and
contesting winter series championships, past winners have benefited
extensively from this program and moved up the racing ladder. Sellers joins
fellow U.S. F2000 drivers Memo Gidley, Jeret Schroeder, Andy Lally and Buddy
Rice as Team USA Scholarship winners.
	This year Team USA will contest the New Zealand International Formula Ford
Championship. The Championship will consist of eight races over four
weekends in January and early February, and features the prestigious New
Zealand Grand Prix and the Denny Hulme Memorial Trophy. Sellers and
Allmendinger will drive two new Stealth Formula Ford cars prepared and
maintained by John Crawford, a former New Zealand Formula Ford Champion.
Both drivers will be looking to continue the success of Team USA, which has
won the past two Palmer Winter Series Championships.
	“The Scholarship is the greatest award I've ever received in my racing
career," said Sellers. “While I’ve had a trying season in U.S. F2000, I
think the level of competition and professionalism of the series has taught
me a lot. The goal now is to go to New Zealand, try to win some races and
represent my country in the best way possible."
