Revolution Motorsports Heads To Denver to Settle Some Debts
Hayner looks to take back Denver
Detroit – Aug 25, 2003 – When the 2003 Trans-Am Series for the
BFGoodrich Tires Cup championship returns for this year’s Grand Prix of
Denver, Round 9, part of the Centrix Financial Grand Prix of Denver
weekend, Stu Hayner will be looking to settle a past debt. In 2002,
Hayner, driver of the #2 GMAC Commercial Finance / Trenton Forging
Corvette set the bar for the weekend turning the fastest qualifying
time and the fastest lap of the race.
“We literally owned this town last year,” said Hayner. “We had the
speed, we had the handling… we had it all. Unfortunately, we were put
back to sixth on the grid for a non-technical ruling and had to fight
our way back to third.”
"I'm optimistic we can pick up were we left off,” Hayner continued.
“This track owes me one. Last year, we were so fast here. I liked the
varying surface of the track...it was challenging and we had it figured
out. It was a fun track.”
“We're going to be on a mission here this year,” Hayner added. “I’m
really confident we’ll be able to nail the set-up here and bring one
home for GMAC Commercial Finance, Trenton Forging and Revloution
Motorsports. We are long overdue.”
For Hayner’s teammate, Bobby Sak, this will be his first appearance on
the streets of Denver.
"I'm not sure what to expect here,” said Sak, who drives the No. 10
Revolution Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette. “I like street courses, but
they haven't been really good to me. I'm going to be picking (teammate)
Hayner’s brain, that's for sure. He ran extremely well at Denver. He
had the fastest car all weekend long. I guess I'll have to buy him
dinner to find out his secret. It's a great town and a great event. I
think we'll have something for the Jags here."
