Team Sahlen, presented by honeybeeBase.com, enters their 3rd<\/sup> event of the season at the Sahlen\u2019s Champyard DOG at the Glen. This season marks 7 years since Sahlen\u2019s 1st<\/sup> sponsored the event.  The event has become one of the 3 Major Endurance race weekends held at Watkins Glen International each year.  The capstone event is the Sahlen\u2019s Six Hours of the Glen with the IMSA WeatherTech Series.  Sahlen\u2019s has sponsored this event for over 18 seasons.  The 3rd<\/sup> event is the Sahlen\u2019s Sports Car Springfest at the Glen with the Summit Racing \u2013 American Endurance Racing Series.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st two events of the season for Team Sahlen were with the Summit Racing \u2013 American Endurance Racing series.  In this series. Team Sahlen competes with their #42 \u201cPepper\u201d & #43 \u201cSalt\u201d ECS Tuning Porsche Caymans.  The 1st<\/sup> event in April was at Pittsburgh International Raceway Complex.  The team secured an OVERALL Victory, 2 Class Victories at this event.  The 2nd<\/sup> event was held right here at Watkins Glen in the 1st<\/sup> weekend of May. Team Sahlen had an amazing weekend at the Glen, with Joe Sahlen securing the OVERALL Victory on both Saturday and Sunday\u2019s 8 hour events.  As well the team tallied 2 Pole Positions, 3 Fastest Race Laps and 3 Class Victories and 4 Podiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers for the weekend will be Joe Sahlen, Joseph Sahlen, Jacob Grimm, Joe Nonnamaker, Wayne Nonnamaker & Will Nonnamaker. The team entries will be the venerable #941 \u201cCharcoal\u201d Mazda RX7, #942 \u201cKetchup\u201d ECS Tuning Porsche Boxster and #943 \u201cMustard\u201d ECS Tuning Porsche Boxster.  \u201cCharcoal\u201d has been a part of the Team Sahlen stable of race cars for 10+ seasons.  Coming into 2022, Team Sahlen has focused on continuing to develop the Rotary Rocket to stay up with the competition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Sahlen shared his thoughts \u2013 \u201cThe last time we raced \u201cCharcoal\u201d in 2021, we were fortunate to secure a 1st<\/sup> in Class B and 8th<\/sup> OVERALL.  The ChampCar field at the Watkins Glen is always tough.  We will have our work cut out for us to repeat this feat.  The crew has worked hard to make improvements.   My plan is to just come in and have a good time and see how we come out at the end of the race.  The whole Sahlen family will be here including my daughters, so it should be a great time here at the Sahlen\u2019s Champyard DOG at the Glen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The weekend\u2019s events start on Friday, May 27th<\/sup> with Test & Tune in the afternoon. Saturday will dawn with an 7 hour enduro starting at 9 am.  Then Sunday will have another 7 hour enduro.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
