“I am happy to be back to the Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup series with Hale Motorsports. Due to both work and financial constraints, I will be running a limited season, consisting of Barber Motorsports Park in July and the double at Virginia International Raceway in October. I may run another race or two schedule permitting. I have also loaned my car to Bob Neal who will be competing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in May and any other open dates he wishes to race. I’m looking forward to a fun 2009 season.”
