Muniz Shines in Florida
January 14, 2007 - Frankie Muniz began his
Formula Atlantic career with two podiums the past
two weekends in the SCCA National events at
Sebring and Homestead driving Jensen MotorSport's
Swift 014 race car.
At the famous Sebring Florida circuit, Frankie
finished in 2nd place on January 7th. At
Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend, Frankie
again finished in a strong 2nd place.
Jensen MotorSport team owner Eric Jensen
states, "We brought Frankie to these races
for several reasons. First, we wanted to give him
some additional race experience in advance of his
Champ Car Atlantic debut at Las Vegas in April.
Second, these races were an opportunity for
Frankie to work with his Atlantic engineers and
mechanics in a practical race situation. Third,
we wanted Frankie to gain experience on these
circuits; especially at Sebring where he will
drive again in just 2 weeks at the official Champ
Car Atlantic test the weekend of January 27th and
28th."
Jensen MotorSport chief engineer Adam
Marchitto states, "We've seen that Frankie
has the pace to be competitive in the Champ Car
Atlantic championship in 2007. These strong
finishes give more proof that Frankie is more
than just a novelty as a professional race car
driver. Frankie put on a very good show, with an
impressive race pace, and was only beat by 2006
SCCA Champion Mirl Swan by about 6 seconds at
Homestead. We decided to keep our cars in the
2005 pro specification, despite the HP deficit
per the SCCA rules, but that made it actually
more fun to see Frankie battle for the outright
win."
The team will be busy at the shop this week
preparing its Swift 016's in advance of the
Sebring official series test on January 27th
& 28th.
