< Back to News Home Team Sahlen heads North of the Border for race at Montreal

Posted (08/01/2007) - The 12th Round of the 2007 ROLEX race season will be held at the Circuit Gilles - Villenueve in Montreal. This "North of the Border" race for Team Sahlen has significant importance in the quest for the Bob Akin Sportsman Award.

"Team Sahlen is very focused upon the Bob Akin Sportsman Award. We were fortunate to have team driver Will Nonnamaker win it in 2005. For 2006, we competed only sporadically in ROLEX. To come back now in 2007 and have a chance to win it again with Will's dad - Joe, is a great opportunity."
- states crew chief Mike Thomas

Currently Joe Nonnamaker is in 2nd place in the GT class award for Sportsman Drivers. He has 3732 points to Emil Assentato's 3793 pts.

Driving the #43 HRPWorld.com Corvette with Joe Nonnamaker will be his son Wayne Nonnamaker. The duo has not finished worse than 21st all season, and that finish was in the ROLEX 24 Hour season opener.

Team Sahlen's #42 HRPWorld.com Corvette will have Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker partnering behind the wheel. This tandem has the team's best finish of the year, a 6th place at Iowa Speedway.

"This will be an exciting race. Montreal is expected to have a large crowd. And to get to race on the same circuit as the Grand Prix cars is thrilling. The track is known for being a killer on brakes. We are confident in our HAWK Brakes doing the job, and hopefully that will give us an advantage on the competition."
- states Will Nonnamaker

The Montreal race will be televised same day tape delayed at SPEED TV on August 3rd, at 8 pm.

The 2007 Team Sahlen ROLEX GT Campaign is support by HRPWorld.com, GOJO, ZIP Products, Kempthorn Auto Mall, HAWK Performance, Forgeline Wheels, Cool Shirt, TheRaceSite.com, TheRaceMarket.com, Grassroots Motorsports, HOTSEAT, Holliday Canopies, Alcon, CM Racing, Joe Gibbs Motor Oil, Genesis Technologies, Endurance Karting, Racetech Seats, and Corsa Performance.
