HUBINETTE SET TO RACE SRT4 DODGE NEON
IN SCCA SPEED WORLD CHALLENGE COMPETITION
Center Line, Mich. July 14, 2005- Seasoned racer, Samuel Hubinette, will be switching
gears this weekend to race in a different vehicle and a different series from
which he usually competes. Also known as "The Crazy Swede" and the "2004 Formula
Drift Champion," Hubinette will drive the Mopar-powered SRT4 Dodge Neon in the
Sport Car Club of America (SCCA) SPEED World Challenge Touring Championship
event. The race will take place at Infineon Speedway in Sonoma, Calif., Sunday
July 17.
Hubinette is no stranger to the demands of the track at Infineon Speedway.
Just last weekend he competed on the track in a Mopar SRT10 Dodge Viper in the
Need for Speed Underground Formula Drift Series. During that event, he
qualified eighth to advance with the top 16 qualifiers to the elimination rounds.
Hubinette conquered the first round of eliminations to advance from the "Sweet 16"
into the "Elite 8" round.
This weekend, Hubinette will pilot the No. 00 SRT4 Dodge Neon amongst a field
of 31 cars. The vehicle, owned by Valaya Racing LLC and maintained by DC
Performance, was built specifically for this race. The event will be televised on
SPEED Channel at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 17.
Hubinette and the Mopar SRT10 Dodge Viper team will return to Formula Drift
competition August 6 in Chicago, Ill., for the fifth round of the Need for
Speed Underground Formula Drift Championship. The SRT10 Dodge Viper Hubinette
pilots is maintained by DC Performance and Archer Racing.
