TRISTAN VAUTIER EXTENDS CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
After his win at Sonoma, french racer Tristan Vautier said this."It was a tremendous race and I led all the way but there was a little bit of drama. I spun the tires a little bit on the start/finish line as we accelerated, but still managed to get a good start and not make any mistakes. Toward the end of the race, Connor was closing on me a little bit so I had to be very careful to maintain the gap without using up my tires. But it all worked out and I have to give credit to the JDC Motorsports team for giving me a perfect car. We now have a couple of days before the next race at the new street circuit in Baltimore, but we'll just keep working like we have been and we ready to fight for the championship right to the end."

CONNOR DE PHILLIPPI WINS STAR MAZDA RACE 2
California racer Connor De Phillippi became the first three race winner of the 2011 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear season with his victory in today's race at the 42nd annual GP3R at Trois Rivieres."We actually threw away all the changes we had made to the cars since we got here and went back to the setup the cars rolled off the trailer with on Friday and that's what worked for us in the race," says De Phillippi, a 18 year old student at San Clemente High School in Southern California. "Nick and I just drove the race we wanted to and were able to take advantage of some mistakes other people made to move up. It really feels like Team Pelfrey is capable of winning on any given weekend, and that, combined with the psychological boost of a 1-2 finish here, gives us some real momentum heading into the final three races of the season."

FRENCH NATIVE TRISTAN VAUTIER WINS FROM THE POLE
Tristan Vautier of Grenoble, France has scored his second victory of the 2011 Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear season in race of a double header at the 42nd annual GP3R at Trois-Rivieres."It was much hotter today so it was good to be at the front and not have to be in a battle on every lap," said Vautier. "I'm happy to be on the pole again for tomorrow's race, but all the top 4 cars are in the same place also, so I think the second race will be even more competitive and I must get a very good start. I'm fortunate to have a great team in JDC Motorsports and excellent sponsors who helped me get here, so I have all the tools, but to win two in a row you must have a little luck also."
