Sunoco's Ultra 94 team gets four new members

Adriano Bilotta, Devin Cunningham, Kyle Marcelli and Daniel Morad assigned 
to Ultra 94 team for 2006


MOSPORT, ONTARIO  Eleven drivers took part in the fourth Sunoco Ron Fellows 
Karting Championship Evaluation Day on Friday, October 7, at the Mosport 
Driver Development track, and of those, four were chosen to represent 
Sunoco's Team Ultra 94 for the 2006 running of the Bridgestone Academy 
F2000 series.

Adriano Bilotta, Devin Cunningham - the first driver from Quebec to be 
selected - Kyle Marcelli and Daniel Morad were the four drivers chosen. 
"This is a huge honour," said Bilotta. "I was a little worried because I 
had a few spins, that I thought would hurt my chances, but they didn't, so 
I am really happy to join the Ultra 94 team for 2006.

The youngest of the group, Kyle Marcelli, made a huge impact with his car 
control and speed. "I am really excited about this opportunity," Marcelli 
said. "Thanks to Ron Fellows, Sunoco and ASN Canada for this opportunity." 
Devin Cunningham, from St-Bruno Quebec, is the first driver from Quebec to 
join the team. "I really had this opportunity circled on my calendar for a 
long time," Cunningham said. "To join this team for 2006 was one of my 
goals for this year. It is one of the main reasons we come to Ontario to 
race. The program Ron Fellows and Sunoco have put together here is 
fantastic for young drivers, and I am honoured to be chosen to represent 
Sunoco next year along with my teammates."

The final member chosen, Daniel Morad had a nervous few moments before his 
name was called. "I was really worried," Morad said. "They called three 
names  the normal number of drivers selected  and I wasn't called. Then 
they announced my name fourth - they did them alphabetically - and I was 
extremely happy. I have some great teammates on the Sunoco team for 2006, 
and I feel like we will be able to do a good job for both Sunoco and Ron 
Fellows."

Fellows, like in the past, told how difficult it was to pick four of the 11 
drivers. "It gets harder each year, but luckily this year, with the help 
from Sunoco and the Bridgestone Academy, we were able to select four 
drivers."  This year, the four drivers all come from different classes 
within the karting championship, and that shows the level of competition in 
the Sunoco Ron Fellows Karting Championship. Bilotta is the World Formula 
Senior Champ, Marcelli competes in Formula Junior, Cunningham in Rotax Max 
Sr, and Morad is vice champion of Formula Senior.
"It shows the classes we have in the championship are all capable of 
developing some impressive talent," Fellows added.

The four drivers will compete in the 2006 Bridgestone Academy F2000 series, 
and they have a 'tradition' to uphold. The last three years, a Sunoco Team 
Ultra 94 driver has won the championship, starting with Matt Champagne in 
2003, Frank Launi in 2004, and Marco Di Leo in 2005.
