Guy Cosmo Pairs With Memo Gidley At Infineon

Slated for the last two races of the Grand Am season, Guy Cosmo will  
pair up with Memo Gidley in the Playboy / Uniden #19 Daytona  
Prototype at Infineon Raceway this weekend. He will also join Gidley  
and Michael McDowell in the #19 car for the season finale at Miller  
Motorsport Park in Salt Lake City.

Cosmo posted his first lead laps in the Grand Am Series earlier this  
month at Watkins Glen with a stellar ten lap performance holding off  
a hard charging Scott Pruett in the Chip Ganassi Racing CompUSA car.  
Cosmo is very anxious to continue his progress in the Series.

"We had a terrific showing at the Glen with Bobby Labonte in the AMD  
sponsored Spirit of Daytona car," said Guy. "I've known all along I  
can be a top competitor in the Grand Am Series and I appreciate the  
opportunities I've had this season. Hooking up with Memo and Finlay  
Motorsports is the perfect scenario to build on my reputation in this  
Series. I'm comfortable in this car and work very well with the team.  
Given the right combination, I know I can win here."

Cosmo stood in for Gidley earlier in the season when Memo was injured  
during a warm up session for the Long Beach Grand Prix.

“I’m really looking forward to pairing up with Memo Gidley for the  
Infineon race,” Cosmo continued. “Having filled in for Memo earlier  
this season I’m glad we’ll finally have the chance to drive together.  
Infineon is a track I know well and have won at in the past. It’s  
very demanding on many levels and really separates the men from the  
boys. I’m looking for a win!”

Practice for Round 13 of the Grand American Rolex Series season is  
scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 24, with qualifying taking  
place on Friday. The green flag will drop at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday,  
August 26 and the Speed Channel will televise the race on Sunday,  
August 27 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Live timing and scoring, news and results
