Busch Series Driver Alex Garcia To  Attend Southwest  
Florida’s First Annual Mini Grand  Prix NASCAR Race 

CAPE CORAL, Florida (Tuesday,  February 20, 2007) - - Coming off a successful 
test in  preparation for his NASCAR Busch Series debut next month in Mexico, 
rookie  driver Alex Garcia will head south this weekend to participate in the 
first  annual Southwest Florida Mini Grand Prix NASCAR race at Sunsplash 
Family Water  Park in Cape Coral, Florida.  
Garcia will be a guest of honor at  the event, getting behind the wheel of 
the Screenprint Plus-Steve Westphal’s  Auto Showcase official pace car. Garcia, 
29, will also be on hand during the  event to meet participants and attendees, 
sign autographs and take pictures.   
“I’m very excited about heading to  Florida this  weekend to participate in 
an event that not only gives back to the community,  but to the leaders of the 
future,�?? said Garcia. “I’m honored that the Cape Coral  Youth Crime 
Intervention Program asked me to be a part of their function, it’s  going to be a 
great time.�??  
The fundraiser, organized by the  Cape Coral Youth Crime Intervention 
Program, is a unique event developed by  Small Cars America. Southwest Florida  
businesses, organizations, and families have the opportunity to purchase  miniature 
$3,500 racecars, equipped with a Briggs and Stratton engine. The cars,  which 
max out at 20 MPH, are then custom-painted and detailed to advertise the  
purchaser’s business or organization.  
The all-day race event begins this  Saturday at 9:00 AM. Cars  will race in 
four heats around a 1/3 mile track in the Sunsplash parking lot.  Food and 
vendors will be on-site throughout the day. Admission to the event is  $2.00 per 
adult. All proceeds of the event will go directly towards expansion  programs 
for the Cape Coral Youth Crime Intervention Program.   
"We are very excited about the opportunity this  special event will bring to 
Cape  Coral. This is our first annual mini grand prix race that  is a 
fundraiser for the Cape Coral Youth Crime Intervention Program. We are  honored to 
host Mr. Garcia and know his participation will add additional excitement to our 
event. We  appreciate him taking time out of his busy race schedule to help us 
help the  youth of Cape  Coral," stated Eileyn Sobeck-Bador, executive 
director  for the Cape Coral Youth Crime Intervention Program. 
The event takes place just one  week before Transnet Racing’s 2007 NASCAR 
Busch Series debut at Autodromo  Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico  City, Mexico on 
March 4. Originally from  Venezuela, Garcia, who founded  Transnet Racing with 
his father Juan in 2002, will be piloting the No. 98  Dixien-OmniSource 
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for at least 12 NASCAR Busch Series  races in 2007. The team 
plans to run a full season schedule in 2008.
