SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- John Potter is pleased to announce plans to run the full 2009 Grand-Am Rolex GT season with The Racers Group (TRG). 

After driving several races with TRG in 2007 and 2008, John will be competing in all '09 races in the 65 car of TRG/Riegel Autosport.  His co-driver for the season will be 2005 Grand-Am champion Craig Stanton.  Potter and Stanton drove together in three races in 2008 and look forward to continuing their successful partnership. They will be driving a 2009 Porsche GT3 Grand-Am spec cup car.

"We had a great car last year and I'm really looking forward to this year," said Potter. "Both TRG and [car owner] Ted Rozsa are working hard to put together a car that should give us every chance to win this year.  It's very exciting."

John Potter started racing in 2004 and has quickly advanced with pro races in 2007 and 2008.  He began in the Skip Barber Race Series and at the club race level before moving up to Grand-Am.  In 2009 he plans to build on that success as he continues his pursuit of victory lane.  Always seeking improvment, John will complement his racing with an extensive testing schedule throughout the season ahead and is looking foward to the challenge of Grand-Am competition.
