TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (November 12, 2007) – As Miller Motorsports Park prepares to wave the checkered flag on the 2007 season, preparations are already well underway for 2008.
The schedule for the 2008 racing season will be similar to that of 2007, with a few date shifts and a couple of notable new events. As before, in addition to the professional events, the four amateur series based at Miller Motorsports Park – the Miller Park Racing Association, the Honda Presents the Plaza Cycle Masters of the Mountains Series, the Plaza Cycle Utah Supermoto Championship Series and the two karting series, the Icebreaker Kart Championship Series and the Utah Kart Championship Series – will remain intact and will hopefully continue to flourish.
The first big spectator event of the season will take place over the weekend of May 16-18, as the American Le Mans Series will bring the world’s most sophisticated prototype and GT racing cars back to Utah for a third consecutive year for the Utah Grand Prix Presented by The Grand and Little America Hotels. The 200mph diesel-powered, twin-turbo V10 Audi R10s will once again face off against the factory Porsches and Acuras for the overall race win, while the Porsche 911s and Ferrari F430s will duke it out in the GT class. Support races will include the SCCA SPEED World Challenge Championship, the STAR Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear, the IMSA GT3 Cup Presented by Michelin and the IMSA Lites presented by Hankook Tires.
Miller Motorsports Park will have only two weeks after the American Le Mans Series packs up their trailers to prepare the facility for the biggest event in the track’s brief history, and the biggest international sporting event in the State of Utah since the 2002 Winter Olympics, as the FIM SUPERBIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP presented by HANNSpree returns to North America for the first time in four years over the weekend of May 29-June 1. The international stars and teams will share the facility with the Honda Summit of Speed featuring the AMA Superbike Championship, which will include the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited, the AMA Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei, the AMA Lockhart Phillips Formula Xtreme Series and the AMA Superstock Series presented by Dynojet. |

 Hankook Tire Corp., and Corsa Motorsports have reached an agreement for Hankook to be a sponsor and the exclusive tire supplier for Corsa Motorsports and will compete in the 2008 American Le Mans Series' GT2 class. The sponsorship within the Series will be a showcase for Hankook performance tire technology.
It is the logical next step in the marketing and brand-building efforts to position Hankook as a market-driven, technology-focused global brand.
"Hankook has been a wonderful partner in our IMSA Lites series, and not only will they continue in that role but we welcome them with open arms as they step up into the American Le Mans Series' ultra-competitive GT2 class," said Scott Atherton, Series President and CEO. "There is no more relevant motorsports test for manufacturers - and that certainly goes for tire manufacturers - than developing and proving the technology, quality and durability than in the GT2 class of the American Le Mans Series. I want to congratulate and thank Hankook for their great past investment and especially for this new initiative in our Series."
The No. 48 Corsa Motorsports Ferrari F430 LMGT will begin the 2008 campaign with Hankook Tires on March 15 at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in Sebring, Fla. |
