NayKid June Sprints Come to Road America

NayKid June Sprints Come to Road America

 

ELKHART LAKE, Wisc., June 18, 2004 - NayKid Racing will face its biggest
challenge of the 2004 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) T1 season this
weekend here at Road America. The June Sprints, at the beautiful,
tree-lined Elkhart Lake, Wisc. track, is traditionally the biggest
gathering of top SCCA competition from around the country prior to the
season-ending National Championship Runoffs presented by Kohler in
September. As such, the event is a dress rehearsal for NayKid Racing who
has dominated events around the country in the modified, street-stock T1
class in their three identically prepared 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06s
riding on KUMHO Tires. The KUMHO Tire/ Suburban Chevrolet/ Redline Oil/
Kodiak Racing Wheels/ CORSA Exhaust team of Scotty B. White (Puyallup,
Wash.), Cindi Lux (Aloha, Or.) and Ryan Snodgrass (Kirkland, Wash.) has
won the pole and taken the race win in each of the events the team has
entered to this point in 2004. The 4.48-mile, 12-turn natural terrain
road course and national competition promises to give the NayKid Racing
team, of Puyallup, Wash., its best reference point for where it stands
against the strongest T1 cars in America.

 

White, who won the 2003 T1 title in the Southern Pacific SCCA Division,
as well as the '03 SCCA Pro Solo and Solo II class Championships, leads
the team with five race wins, seven pole positions, three track records
and three other podium finishes. Lux, the 2003 SCCA T1 Northern Pacific
Division and Oregon National Driver of the Year as well as 1999 ALMS
Women's Global GT Series champion, is pushing White hard with three
victories on her side with one pole- two new track records- and five
second places. 

 

Scotty B. White: "YEE-HAW, BABY! This track is a hoot, nothin' but fast
corners and lotsa wide open track and hard on the brakes. It will
separate drivers from the rest. I love this track! I think the toughest
competition here comes from under the NayKid tent, Cindi is getting
faster every race and our KUMHO's just keep diggin'."

 

Cindi Lux: "Last year's June Sprints was bittersweet.  Scotty qualified
on the pole with a new lap record but retired from the race.  I led part
of the race but also had to retire with a mechanical problem.  So let's
just say we have something to settle up on!  Hopefully this year we will
have a better outcome.I am so ready for this race, I cannot stand it!" 

 

NayKid Racing won 11 of 13 T1 races entered in 2003, earned 15 podium
finishes, 11 pole positions and set six track records. Since its
creation in 1998, NayKid has earned six SCCA division T1 titles, as well
as five SCCA Pro Solo Championships and seven Solo II titles. The team
made history at Mosport in 1999 becoming the first Corvette team to win
a SPEED World Challenge GT race. White finished as runner-up in Rookie
of the Year honors that same year. Over the course of his two season
participation in SPEED World Challenge GT, White finished in the top-10,
an amazing 78% of the time!
