Ross Smith and Andy Lally team with MCM at Barber Motorsports Park.
Matt Connolly Motorsports has entered their #19 Maxwell Paper Corvette
in the GT Class of the Grand Am Rolex race at Barber Motorsports Park
for this weekend's Porsche 250. Ross Smith and Andy Lally will be behind
the wheel for Saturday's race.
Ross Smith is coming off an excellent start to the 2010 season after
dominating the first two races of the Patron GT3 Challenge in Sebring
claiming two poles, two fastest laps and two wins. Ross has run
successfully in GT at Barber Motorsports Park before and will be making
his debut with MCM this weekend. "I am very thankful for the backing of
Maxwell paper products to
put me into another great opportunity for even more experience! I'm very
excited to be with MCM at Barber. I think this car has great potential
and we are willing to put on
an amazing show."
Andy Lally will also be making his debut with MCM this weekend. Lally
has three wins in Grand Am competition at Barber Motorsports Park, the
most of any driver since the track opened in 2003. Andy is also third in
Rolex GT points coming into the weekend. "Matt and I have been friends
for many years and it will be great to team up with him for the first
time and see if we can get the #19 to the front! I am also really happy
to be with Ross, I was watching him in his first two races this season
and he was flying. We have worked together before and we always have fun
together so I am hoping this weekend will be more of the same. I owe a
big thanks to Maxwell Paper and MCM for putting this together and making
this happen, I came into this week very down because I am third in the
GT Championship at the moment and its never easy to stand down in that
situation so for these guys to come through for Ross and I is great.
Matt Connolly is also happy to be heading to Barber, " Working with Andy
and Ross is an ideal situation, They are both quick and disciplined,
smart in traffic and know how to stay out of trouble. I have been
waiting for drivers like this for the Vette and I couldn't ask for more.
The Porsche 250 will air live this Saturday, at 5:00PM EST, on SPEED
Channel.
