Box 1541 Morgan Hill, CA 95038 www.champ-truck.com www.chump-truck.com ™ ™ “Truck racing started in the United Stated in the early 1980’s,” reports TRO’s Fabien Calvet. “However, due to poor management the series lost its direction and soon fell apart. Meanwhile, truck racing has become quite popular and is a tremendous success throughout Europe and South America. I am very pleased to join the ChampTruck World Series and help bring truck racing back to the USA. I look forward to assisting John Condren and Mike Ryan with their Business Plan – one that I share a belief in and I know we can execute.” The ChampTruck World Series plans to begin road racing events in 2015, with eight (8) events held annually across the United States. Each event will feature six (6) 50-mile sprint races. Competition events will be held at world-class tracks and facilities, including Daytona International Speedway, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Portland International Raceway, Virginia International Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Gateway International Raceway. Events will be held on Saturday and Sunday and may even include night road racing. The Series’ rules are posted on the company’s new website, www.champ-truck.com. The series is open to amateur, semi-pro and professional race teams in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, as well as truck manufacturers and fleet-based trucking companies. “We’re going to start out slow,” said ChumpTruck co-Founder, Mike Ryan. “We want to build a series that has a real foundation and is not just a flash. We’re going to target 15-20 trucks per event in 2015 and build the series from there. Over the last three years, John Condren built the ChumpCar World Series from one event in 2009 to over 65 races in 2013, and they currently have over 9,000 driver members. In 2013, ChumpCar signed Optima Batteries and Johnson Controls as the primary series sponsor. John knows how to build a successful series and we’re going to duplicate that approach.” Contacts Mike Ryan Fastrucks 818.404.8230 mike@champ-truck.com www.champ-truck.com www.mikeryanmotorsports.com Fabien Calvet TRO (Truck Racing Organisation) 33(0)6 98 92 20 02 fabien.calvet@truckrace.org www.truckrace.org John Condren ChumpCar International LLC 408-824-8818 john@champ-truck.com www.chumpcar.com www.champ-truck.com P.O.
