Bullrun 2006 For immediate release July 19, 2006 Motegi Racing Enters the Bullrun Rancho Dominguez, Calif. - July 19, 2006 - Motegi Racing Performance Wheels has entered the Bullrun, a seven-day coast to coast automotive once-in-a-lifetime rally that begins July 21 in New York and covers 3,000 miles as it crosses the country making its final stop in Los Angeles on July 28. "Motegi Racing is about performance and the Bullrun is a perfect fit for what we stand for," said Pete Wendt, brand manager for Motegi Racing Performance Wheels. "We support all forms of car culture, including drifting, drag racing, and the car show scene, but for us at Motegi Racing, we love to drive and we encourage all of our customers to get out there and enjoy their cars. There is no better way to do this than to drive across the country having a little fun along the way." Motegi Racing has entered the rally with a tricked out Infiniti G35 Coupe, which may end up being the only import tuner vehicle on the rally. The highly capable Motegi Racing G35 has been designed to hold its own against a fleet of super cars from Ferrari and Porsche to Lamborghini and others. According to Wendt, "The G35 was chosen because of its rear-wheel drive balance, great engine, beautiful styling, and happy balance of performance and comfort. It should be the perfect ride, for the fast-paced 3,000 cross-country trek." ESPN 2's "Import Racers" documented the one-day build of the car at Creative Motorsports in Calif. and will film the Motegi Racing's G35's adventure during the rally. Outfitted with Glossy Black Motegi Racing DV5 19-inch wheels, 186+mph Y-speed rated Pirelli P-Zero tires, Eibach suspension, a Seibon carbon fiber hood, Brembo Gran Turismo brakes, 5th Dimension graphics, AEM cold-air intake, DC Sport Headers, Magnaflow exhaust, and the all important radar detector, the G35 will not only finish the rally fast, but also in style. The invite-only Bullrun is made up of high-rollers, celebrities, and super cars coming together for a week long adventure of pure adrenalin and mayhem. The rally makes its way from checkpoint to checkpoint, revealing the destinations daily. Each day concludes with an exclusive party and a one-night stay at a five-star hotel. With celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Hayden Christensen of "Star Wars", and UFC fighter Tito Ortiz joining automotive legends Mario Andretti and Boyd Coddington on the run.
