Genoa Racing Qualifies Fifth in LMPC Class
For Sunday's American Le Mans Series Race
At Road America

ELKHART LAKE, Wis., Aug. 21 - Frankie Montecalvo of Highlands, N.J., the
youngest driver entered in Sunday's Round 7 of the American Le Mans Series
presented by Tequila Patron, qualified fifth in class and tenth overall
Saturday afternoon at Road America in Genoa Racing's No. 36 Le Mans Prototype
Challenge (LMPC) car.

The 19-year-old driver will share the bright-green car with Christian Zugel
of Holmdel, N.J. The car, which is based in Zionsville, Ind., promotes the
sponsors of Green Earth Team Gunnar: G-Oil, Bayshore Recycling of Keasbey,
N.J. and the Zais Group.

Montecalvo was fourth in class in qualifying until Andy Wallace went out in
the last few minutes of the session and ran 0.106 of a second faster.
Montecalvo's qualifying time was a 2:00.846 for an average speed of 120.590
miles per hour for the 4.048-mile, 14-turn road course.

Montecalvo had never driven here before a test session on Friday, and he
has never even been in Wisconsin before this trip.

Still, the team has made steady progress here. Its fastest lap in testing
on Friday was a 2:05.314 (116.290 mph) before torrential rains hit the area.

In the first official practice session on Saturday morning the team's
fastest lap was a 2:05.159 (116.434 mph), and by the second practice session
right before qualifying it recorded a lap in 2:03.505 (117.994 mph).

"Before qualifying we went over the data to improve our lap times, and it
definitely worked," Montecalvo said after the qualifying session. "We tried
to just be patient, and it paid off.

"I just went out and tried to do the best I could and not make any
mistakes," he added. "The Genoa Racing car was great. It was very nice to drive. I
definitely appreciated being on new Michelin tires. The track felt pretty
similar today to yesterday too, despite the rain we had yesterday afternoon
and last night. It wasn't green or anything; it was a good race track."

Sunday's race, which is part of the Time Warner Cable Road Race Showcase,
will be broadcast live on SPEED starting at 3 p.m. Eastern time. It will be
also be broadcast on a tape-delayed basis by MotorsTV on Sunday, Aug. 29
