BLUEPRINT RUNNING KENTUCKY EVENT
-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-
BEDFORD PARK, ILLINOIS, Thursday, August 17, 2000 - Blueprint Racing
announced earlier today that it would indeed compete in the upcoming
Belterra Resorts Indy 300. The eighth of the nine-round Indy Racing
Northern Light Series will be held at the new Kentucky Speedway on August
27.
The initial entry list for the inaugural event at the track was released
earlier this week and the #27 Blueprint Racing G Force and driver Jimmy
Kite were not among those listed. Since, however, Blueprint Racing owners Ed
Rachanski and Keith Sanders have been in contact with Indy Racing League
and Northern Light Series officials to make their intentions known. Indy
Racing League Director of Racing Operations Brian Barnhart has cleared the entry.
“It was a timing issue,” remarked Sanders. “We had every intention of
competing in the Belterra Resorts Indy 300 but we have been finalizing
some business arrangements to prepare us for the remainder of the 2000 season
and the 2001 season. Blueprint Racing is dedicated to putting the best car
and the best team out there every time we run. We were making sure we could
do that for the Kentucky event and I can guarantee you that we are doing just
that.”
The #27 has been entered as a 2000 G Force chassis with a Blueprint Racing
Engines 3.5 liter, 90-degree Oldsmobile IRL Aurora V8 for driver Jimmy
Kite. Brad McCanless is listed as the team manager and engineer with Randy Ruyle
as crew chief.
Sanders continued, “We are readying some exciting announcements for this
team. We appreciate all the support that everyone associated with the
Northern Light Series, fans included, have given us this season. When our
name wasn’t on the entry list for Kentucky I got a number of calls, the
shop got a number of calls and the team members got dozens of emails and phone
calls. BlueprintRacing.com was flooded with emails from fans wanting to
know what was up. It really helps to know that our supporters will come
out like that to rally behind us. It lets us know that what we are doing, and
how we are doing it, is being noticed and appreciated.”
The #27 Blueprint Racing entry will be on track for the first day of
practice, August 25th, at Kentucky Speedway with qualifying scheduled for
August 26th.
