HUBINETTE SET TO RACE SRT4 DODGE NEON
IN SCCA SPEED WORLD CHALLENGE COMPETITION

Center Line, Mich. - Seasoned racer, Samuel Hubinette, will be switching gears this weekend to race in a different vehicle and a different series from which he usually competes. Also known as "The Crazy Swede" and the "2004 Formula Drift Champion," Hubinette will drive the Mopar-powered SRT4 Dodge Neon in the Sport Car Club of America (SCCA) SPEED World Challenge Touring Championship event. The race will take place at Infineon Speedway in Sonoma, Calif., Sunday July 17.

Hubinette is no stranger to the demands of the track at Infineon Speedway.
Just last weekend he competed on the track in a Mopar SRT10 Dodge Viper in the Need for Speed Underground Formula Drift Series. During that event, he qualified eighth to advance with the top 16 qualifiers to the elimination rounds.
Hubinette conquered the first round of eliminations to advance from the "Sweet 16"
into the "Elite 8" round.

This weekend, Hubinette will pilot the No. 00 SRT4 Dodge Neon amongst a field of 31 cars. The vehicle, owned by Valaya Racing LLC and maintained by DC Performance, was built specifically for this race. The event will be televised on SPEED Channel at 6 p.m. on Sunday, July 17.

Hubinette and the Mopar SRT10 Dodge Viper team will return to Formula Drift competition August 6 in Chicago, Ill., for the fifth round of the Need for Speed Underground Formula Drift Championship. The SRT10 Dodge Viper Hubinette pilots is maintained by DC Performance and Archer Racing.
