YORK Motorsport Attends GRAND-AM Banquet At NASCAR Hall Of Fame

GRAND-AM's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Awards Banquet presented by SunTrust was held Saturday, October 9th at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina.

GRAND-AM honored the top three drivers and first-place teams and manufacturers in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in both the Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) classes, as well as the MESCO Building For The Future Rookie of the Year and winners of other contingency awards, including the SunTrust Improve Your Position.

The cars of GS champs Charles Espenlaub and Charlie Putman and ST champs Lawson Aschenbach and David Thilenius were on exhibit, marking the first sports cars to be displayed at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Fans can see the cars Saturday throughout the day.

As an alumnus of this year's championship team, Kevin York (along with son Evan) will be present at the champion's table.

C360R team principal, Karl Thomson extended an invitation to the Yorks and naturally they accepted.

"With the banquet being held here in our adopted hometown of Charlotte it will be a short commute to the banquet." laughed Kevin "I'm honored that the team asked us to join them for such a wonderful occasion. It was good to reconnect with those on the team that I worked with during the 2008 season."
