KINETIC MOTORSPORTS TO BUILD ON MOMENTUM AT THE GLEN

 

Ortiz and Price Will Pilot the No. 79 for Kinetic Motorsports at Watkins
Glen

Buford, Ga. - After a successful weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course,
Kinetic Motorsports is on the way to Watkins Glen International to
compete on the 3.4 mile long road course at the next KONI Challenge
event. Coming off a recent 4th place finish in Ohio, the team is looking
to continue the positive momentum in New York with drivers Bryan Ortiz
and Shawn price at the helm of the No. 79 Kinetic BMW. 

With five remaining races on the KONI Challenge schedule, Kinetic
Motorsports is looking to secure its first podium in the GS class of the
series having entered Grand Am at the beginning of this season. Drivers
have secured top qualifying positions for Kinetic this season but the
podium thus far has been elusive. With top-five finishes like that of
Mid-Ohio, the team is extremely excited about this event and hopes to
achieve a top-three finish.

"I think the fact that we were able to get so close to the podium says a
lot about the progress that we are making as a team," said Crew Chief
James Pauly. "All of the guys have really come together and share the
common goal of not only competing but also shooting for the win at every
event. With the drivers and crew that Kinetic has, it's only a matter of
time before we end up with a top-three." 

Ortiz, who helped Kinetic secure the 4th place finish at Mid-Ohio is
eager to get back behind the wheel of the No. 79 and feels confident
about the upcoming event.

"Coming off a strong finish at Mid Ohio and having the team in the top
five has us all excited about this race," said Ortiz. "Shawn is a good
driver and I am glad to have the chance to hopefully pull out another
good finish for Kinetic."

Price is the President and CEO of Savvion as well as a driver for
Kinetc. He has enjoyed success in multiple series and events including
the IMSA Cup Challenge, Grand Am and Baja. Like Ortiz, he is
anticipating positive results at the Glen.

"I am delighted to be driving with Bryan Ortiz who is a great young
competitor," commented Price. "If we are able to stay incident free I
feel like we have a strong shot at performing extremely well. I look
forward to racing at Watkins Glen and hopefully putting the Kinetic
Motorsports/Savvion BMW on the podium this weekend."
