Hi All,
We wanted to acknowledge a little super star around Interbank FX... enjoy!
Salt Lake City, Utah, August 17, 2010 – Ben Crosland and the Interbank FX Mustang shined for Team RaceWithRP.com by earning pole position for both races, leading with the most laps on way tosecond and first place finishes.
“I had the car the weekend before the race, and JD (Jim Daniels) had the car hooked up,” said 17 year old Ben Crosland. “In race one with a few laps to go, I was running a wide arch in the keyhole and the 68 car got a bit inside me. He was in my blind spot and really did not have the turn. We touched and that ended my shot at the win in class and third overall. I finished second and tried to keep my composure.”
Crosland feels the team is behind the car’s remarkable success in round two, as they worked tirelessly to ensure the car was at peak performance. On one restart, Crosland found himself bottled up behind a TC Honda and had to lift. That let the 68 car pass by easily. However, racing luck was on his side because the 68 car got held up by traffic with two laps to go, allowing Crosland to pass by and regain the lead.
“The car surpassed my expectations and the team deserves all the credit for that,” said Crosland. “What an exciting race, I cannot wait for the next one!”
The success of the World Challenge weekend comes after three Podium finishes for Crosland this year in the Mustang Challenge series. Crosland took 3rd at VIR, 3rd at Mid Ohio and took first place at New Jersey.
