Sunoco Team Ultra 94 at Homestead this weekend
Vincec and Raimondo look to move up in the standings

TORONTO, ONTARIO  Sunoco's Team Ultra 94 will be back in action this 
weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway for rounds five and six of the Skip 
Barber Southern Region Series. Sunoco Team Ultra 94 drivers, Mike Vincec 
and Gianmarco Raimondo are both looking forward to a good weekend after the 
Christmas break.

This weekend at Homestead will mark the halfway point of the series, and 
both Sunoco Team Ultra 94 drivers are in the top ten in points, with Vincec 
in third and Raimondo in seventh.

Both drivers will be looking to move up in the point standings this 
weekend. Vincec has been hovering at the front of the field since the first 
event, and he'll be looking to add a victory in the Skip Barber Southern 
Region Championship to his resume. Vincec will have his work cut out for 
him as one driver has won all four rounds so far.

Raimondo is still recovering from a bad first weekend, but he hit his 
stride in rounds three and four at Sebring. This shot him up the 
championship standings, and he'll be looking to continue that momentum at 
Homestead this weekend.

Round five of the Skip Barber Southern Region Championship will run on 
Saturday January, 26, with round 6 going on Sunday, January 27.
