Markus Niemela Preview - Toole Utah - May 11, 2009

Dana Point, CA, May 12, 2009: Markus Niemela and his NWR - Nuclear Energy - Mr. Jones teammates have completed their preparations for the coming American Le Mans Series - Larry H. Miller Dealerships Utah Grand Prix May 15-17.

“The beginning of my season(was)not easy with my Sebring crash, but the team has been incredibly supportive and big thanks to everyone at NWR.

I'm really looking forward driving at Miller. It's a cool track although the layout we are using is different from last year. The team has been preparing for the event and it's very hard to imagine that any other team could have done a better job preparing than us. I have confidence that our team has more than the necessary potential to be strong at Miller and throughout the rest of the season.”
