Hayner Upbeat About Return To Cleveland Grand Prix
Former Trans-Am driver sees good things for #5 GMAC / Trenton Forging  
GTO

Detroit – June 21, 2005 - When Stu Hayner takes to the track for this  
week’s SPEED World Challenge GT Race at the Cleveland Grand Prix,  
he’ll only need to recall his last drive at this track to visualize  
the #5 GMAC Commercial Finance / Trenton Forging GTO going to the  
front. Hayner and his Autosport Development team are in Cleveland for  
round 5 of the SPEED World Challenge GT Series. The race will be held  
on the temporary circuit at Burke Lakefront Airport on Sunday, June  
26 at 4pm. The race will air with a one-hour tape delay on SPEED at 5pm.

“This is a great weekend,” remarked Hayner. “I’ve had some excellent  
races here. It’s also nice that we’re just a few hours away from the  
team’s home base and close to sponsors. This event has always been a  
great place to entertain and this year will be no different.”

“The racing here is terrific,” Hayner continued. “It’s wide open and  
fast. And, the fans can see all the action all the time. Believe it  
or not, you’re aware of the fans when your on that track… and let me  
tell you, when they’re excited, we’re excited. It’s a lot of fun.”

Hayner’s last appearance at the Cleveland Grand Prix was driving the  
#2 GMAC Commercial Finance Corvette with Don Sak’s Revolution  
Motorsports. After pitting for lose bodywork caused by contact in  
turn one on the first lap, Hayner went a full lap down. By the end of  
the race, Hayner had come from last place to pass the entire field,  
including race leader, Scott Pruett, to finish the day in 5th. It was  
a remarkable drive that had the Cleveland fans on their feet.

“The last time we were here was a wild ride,” Hayner acknowledged.  
“That Corvette was fast… and we had plenty left, too. Another 5 laps  
and I think we’d have been battling for the lead.”

“I really like our chances here,” Hayner went on. “The GTO is  
definitely going in the right direction. We finally cracked the  
top-10 at Mid-Ohio last month and we’ve been given a few small  
competition adjustments from the Series. I also think it’s going to  
be a big benefit having two of us out there gathering information and  
giving the crew feedback.”

The ‘two of us’ Hayner mentioned was in reference to the debut of  
Autosport Development’s #7 GTO that will be driven by Jim Osborn and  
fielded by Chili Pepper Racing. Starting with this Sunday’s race in  
Cleveland, Osborn is slated to run six GT events this year.

The Cleveland Grand Prix schedule calls for the SPEED Touring Car  
race to run on Saturday at 5:45pm and the GT race to run Sunday at  
4pm. The Touring Car race will air Sunday at 4pm and the GT race will  
run one-hour tape delayed at 5pm, on SPEED.

Autosport Development competes as part of the SPEED World Challenge  
GT Series. All events are nationally televised on SPEED channel  
(formerly Speedvision). In 2005 the SPEED World Challenge Series  
schedule will include street races and temporary circuits in  
Cleveland, Denver and St. Petersburg, and make the traditional stops  
around the country at great tracks like Sebring, Road Atlanta, Lime  
Rock Park, Infineon, Mosport, Portland, Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca.
