Infineon Raceway: BTM Motorwerks Racing Takes 2nd Place!

BTM Motorwerks Racing on Pole Position in US Touring car and Spec E30 racing.

US Touring Car Championship:
Andrie Hartanto managed to stay unbeaten this season in the Nitto Tire US Touring Car Championship by winning the Infineon round on June 28, 2009. The victory was somewhat surprising because Andy Chittum was quickest in every session in his BTM Motorworks/LeMans Karting BMW 328ti. Chittum started on pole and managed to not only take the lead but also to start to pull away from Hartanto who was his closest challenger. Chittum managed to set the fast lap of the race but credit Hartanto for not giving up in the RedZone Performance Acura TSX. They say in racing you never know what can happen so you must push until the checkered flag waves. Hartanto did just that and he knew that working traffic was going to be an issue today. With two laps to go Chittum lost a little momentum and went a little wide at Turn 7 while passing some lapped cars. Hartanto took advantage of the opportunity and took the lead and about 4 minutes later, the checkered flag. Hartanto now has won all three races this season and remains unbeaten. Chittum has now finished second to Hartanto at every race. The BTM Motorworks team of Chittum now have to try again at the next round at California Speedway in Fontana, California to see if they can beat Hartanto.

Preparing for Race

NASA SpecE30:
On Staurdays event, Brad McClure of BTM Motorwerks racing was on Pole position for the start. The glory didn't last too long when veteran driver Donny Edwardsput the squeez on in turn two and took the lead for the remainder of the race, but Brad never gave up setting fast lap time of the race. Not too bad for a driver who just finished his Rooky races and 1st season in Road Racing.

Brad eventaully got by Greg going into turn 11, but had to work real hard keeping him behind him finishing up in Second place and with fast time of the race.
