Boardwalk Ferrari Wins Dealership Championship at 2009 Ferrari World Finals

PLANO, Texas--Boardwalk Ferrari, a division of the Boardwalk Auto Group, is proud to announce that its challenge team raced into first place at this year’s Ferrari World Finals for the North America Dealer Team Championship.

The Challenge races take place around the world from March through September as part of the 2009 North American Ferrari Challenge Racing Series. There are 14 races in total. The final Challenge race took place in Valencia, Spain on November 13, 2009. Boardwalk Ferrari competed against six North American dealerships, with two experienced and successful drivers, Scott Tucker and Ted Skokos, at the helm. Tucker crossed the finish line first in Valencia and came in second overall in the Challenge series. Tucker won 11 races and scored a podium finish in every single race – something that has never been done in Ferrari Challenge history. Skokos finished eighth overall in only his second year of competition. There were a total of 19 drivers in the race.

“We are thrilled to have won the Team Championship against very experienced contenders,” said Scott Ginsburg, owner and dealer principal, Boardwalk Auto Group. “Our strategy this year was to focus on two drivers and their cars, and it clearly paid off. This win is a reflection of the time, dedication and sophistication of every single member of our Ferrari Challenge Team. Our hats are off to all the drivers in the Challenge race competition, and particularly to Scott and Ted.”
