Le Mans, June 11, 2009: Merchant Services Racing driver Chapman Ducote has begun to plan a new racing program focused on the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans. The young LMP1 driver has spent the last three weeks traveling in, and around Europe, securing new international business agreements in his role as Merchant Services Ltd. CEO. However, regardless of his intense business interests, racing at Le Mans is a goal that is not far from his thinking.

"I had an ride organized for this year but decided to focus on American circuits based on the the intense nature of the circuit at Le Mans, and the fact that my business is currently expanding rapidly with the opening of an Merchant Services International Division. Since Le Mans is something special, I want to do it right as it were, and not try to run before I walk. Having the ability to investigate the event in detail this year, will make me much more competitive next year, and if I'm going to do the work I want to produce a significant result."
