Predators ready for Mosport this weekend
Pritiko and Boyer poised for home track success

TORONTO, ONTARIO - Predators Autosport is ready for action this weekend at Mosport International Raceway, site of round 3 of the Koni Challenge Series. This will be very much a home track race for the team and coming off a good weekend at Lime Rock the whole team is poised for success this weekend.

"I'm very excited about this weekend's race at Mosport," Predators' driver Matt Pritiko said. "It's my home track and we have always been fast there. We have numerous sponsors and family coming up to watch so I'm sure Robert and I will put on a great show".

Predators Autosport has been building momentum since the opening round at Daytona, and they expect their #53 turbocharged Chevrolet Cobalt SS to be at the front of the ST class all weekend.

"We tested here a few weeks ago and were very pleased of the result," Pritiko added. The whole Predators Autosport team is very anxious to get back on the track after our great run at lime rock."

Mosport has been good to both the team and drivers in the past. Robert Boyer was always a front runner in Honda Michelin at Mosport, while the Predators Autosport team enjoyed some success in the same series at Mosport. Pritiko won a karting GrandNational championship a few years back at the Mosport Karting Complex which is located on the outside of turn 8.

The Mosport Koni Challenge race will start at 1:00pm on Saturday.
