Dan
Gardner and Jackson-Dawson Team With Scion on Grassroots Road Racing
Effort
Team to
Put Together the First Wheel-to-Wheel Road Race Scion tC to Compete
in a National Series
TORRANCE,
Calif. - After winning a national championship at Mid-Ohio driving
for Jackson-Dawson (JD) this past September, Dan Gardner and the JD
team
have partnered with Scion.
The
2007 Scion tC road race car is currently in development and will be
unveiled on March 17 at California Speedway. The car will compete in
the
National Auto Sport Association's (NASA) 2007 inaugural points race,
running in Performance Touring (PT) "E" class, otherwise known
as PTE.
The
series uses the same innovative base classing and points modification
rule set found in NASA's Time Trial (TT) program. The team will participate
in TT events on top of their core PT series.
"We're
really excited to be driving a Scion," said Dan Gardner. "The
brand
lines up well with our own youthful image, not to mention the fact that
we
really believe in the potential of the platform. We truly appreciate
Scion's involvement in our program, and will do our very best to take
home
as many podiums as possible."
Any
new platform takes considerable development time, and the team is using
the best brains in the business to help make the car turn, accelerate,
and
brake exceptionally. The tC's fully independent suspension and large
2.4-liter 4-cylinder should spell good things to come.

"JD
has been a longtime Toyota partner," said Jill Lindsay, executive
vice
president, west coast operations, Jackson-Dawson Communications. "It's
a
great fit for us to be involved with Toyota and Scion in a motorsports
capacity as well. We look for great things to come from the program."
