< Back to News Home Team Sahlen Drivers Nonnamaker and Sahlen Finish in Top-Five for Cup Performance Index

Posted (11/21/2005) - North Canton, Ohio - Team Sahlen drivers Will Nonnamaker and Joe Sahlen finished off this season with top five spots in the driver performance index. Nonnamaker took fourth in the rankings while Sahlen took 5th. This was the first year for the men to be listed as co-drivers in the Grand-Am Cup series. Nonnamaker and Sahlen joined the David Empringham, Scott Maxwell, and Justin Marks as top-five drivers in the performance index.

Nonnamaker and Sahlen paired as co-drivers during the 2005 season and ran every Cup race, including the split class races held in Trois-Rivieres and Phoenix. During Grand Sport races Nonnamaker and Sahlen piloted the team's Porsche 996s. A Dodge SRT that had been acquired mid-season took to the track during the Sport Touring races.

Nonnamaker spent a great amount of time behind the wheel of a car this season. Taking the Grand America Road Racing Association by storm, Nonnamaker drove in both classes as well as for the team's Grand American Rolex Grand Touring class effort.

This was Sahlen's first season in Grand-Am Cup competition. He and Nonnamaker took their first top-ten finish in front of an enthusiastic crowd at California Speedway. Sahlen's practical nature and love of the sport helped him to become an aggressive yet gracious competitor in the Grand-Am Cup.

"Joe has done an excellent job in really understanding the series. He has remained a focused competitor, worked hard while on the track, and pushed himself to gain better lap times. Both Joe and I are looking forward to next season," stated Will Nonnamaker.

Team Sahlen competes in the Grand-Am Cup with support from Speed Group International, GOJO, HRPWorld.com, TheRaceSite.com, Hawk Performance, TheRaceMarket.com, Kempthorn Auto Mall, UNICHIP, Lamin-X, Racetech, and Grassroots Motorsports.
