Munroe Falls, OH – Amy Ruman and Ruman Racing announce plans to compete in the 2010 SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series and SCCA GT-1 National venues. Ruman returns to Trans-Am competition in 2010, driving her trademark red #23 McNichols Co./Goodyear/Cenweld Chevrolet Corvette. The team has stepped up the power plant under the hood this year – opting to run the larger engine, at 358 cubic inches, in most of the races this season.
Ruman’s long time sponsor, McNichols Co., is returning for another season with the Ruman Racing team. “We are once again thrilled to be partnering with the Ruman Racing team for the 9th consecutive year. Amy Ruman and team have done an excellent job preparing for the season and we are expecting some great racing in the Trans Am Series and GT-1!” stated Steven McNichols, Vice President of McNichols Co.
McNichols Co., headquartered in Tampa, FL, is the largest U.S. distributor of “Hole” products with service centers across North America. McNichols’ product selection is the most diverse in the industry. McNichols stocks perforated products, both metal and plastic. A toll free number 800-237-3820 connects you to the McNichols Co. distributor in your area and the company’s extensive website,www.mcnichols.com, has online customer service and online ordering.
“I am extremely excited about teaming up with McNichols Co. for another season of racing. The media and fan exposure is set to increase dramatically in the upcoming season as Trans-Am will share venues with other popular pro series, such as the NASCAR Nationwide series, NASCAR Camping World Series, Indy Racing League, and World Challenge,” commented Ruman. “With different tracks and more competition, I am putting my game face on to make sure I finish in the front.”
Goodyear Tire & Rubber is backing Ruman as a tire sponsor again.Cenweld Corp., a well-established manufacturer and distributor of truck bodies and equipment throughout Ohio, is also returning as a sponsor.
This weekend, May 7-9, will be Ruman’s first time at the Thunderbolt New Jersey Motorsports Park track. She will take to the track for the test day on Friday, but Ruman will miss the Saturday practice sessions due to a prior commitment. She will be back for the Sunday morning qualifying session and the Trans-Am race that will start approximately at 3:00 pm, the last race of the day.
