Event Coverage: MPTCC 2013 Round 1 – Auto Club Speedway 1

,

Michele Abbate
While the driver's side inner axle was a problem, it looks like tire wear was an unknown problem on the tC as well! This is the passenger side tire after the race. I'm pretty sure it's done as those are the cords showing.
 
MPTCC Podium Michele Abbate
Well, even in the face of those issues, Michele Abbate in the Scion Racing/Dynamic Autosport Scion tC was able to secure Third Place in Race Two! The podium finish would place her in a tie for Fourth Place in the season championship race with Steve Rockwood.
 
MPTCC Podium Justin Taylor
Justin Taylor will once again take Second Place in Race Two! This solidly puts him Second in points as well.
 
MPTCC Podium Edik Stepanyan
First for the entire weekend and your current Points Leader, Edik “Edo” Stepanyan wins Auto Club Speedway 1 Races One and Two! He's off to a dominating start compared to last year, but will it continue? You'll have to tune in here to know for sure!
 
Motul Grab Bags
As I mentioned earlier in the article, Motul has stepped up their sponsorship of the MPTCC. They paid for the garages for the weekend and handed out some great gifts to our drivers! Coming in first place, Edo received the first of four Motul limited edition wall plaques from Motul's Joey Cabrera.  It is a tin vintage style plaque that is not for sale anywhere and gives a unique prize for a well deserved weekend for Edo Stepanyan!
 
MPTCC Next Round Willow Springs Raceway
Our next race is at Willow Springs Raceway, a very challenging track for the SoCal region. Look forward to seeing two former competitors coming back as Mike Kojima and, possibly, Daijiro Yoshihara come back to the MPTCC. Will Mike and Dai have a chance against Edo? You'll have to stay tuned and follow the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship presented by Motul.
