HRPworld.com of Peoria, IL announced today their entry into the Grand Am Cup Road Racing Endurance Series in the Sports Touring II (STII) Class. The STII race cars will be two King Motorsports - Acura Integra LSs. Lead Drivers for the team will be the Ohio brother duo of Wayne and Will Nonnamaker.

"Hoerr Racing Products has a long history in Sports Car Racing," said Jason Mitchell of HRPWorld.com. "With the introduction of our brand new web site - HRPworld.com, we really wanted to increase our involvement with a year-long campaign in a growing series such as the Grand Am Cup with its strong Speed Channel TV package. The HRPworld.com racers will be easy to spot both at the track and on TV, with our familiar Red and Black colors and famous Speedy Rabbit."

Irv Hoerr, owner of Hoerr Racing Products continued on: "Its great to see two brothers (Wayne & Will Nonnamaker) who are so successful racing together. It reminds me a lot of when Scott and I raced in the same car. I even got my start racing in sport compact cars in the (IMSA) Racing Sedan series in the 70's. Just like the Hoerr family, the Nonnamakers have been racing for a long time. I remember their father Joe in the 80's, when we were both racing in IMSA. I think that 2002 will be great year and I am looking forward to our campaign having a strong run at the championship."

Will Nonnamaker, who won the 2001 Grand Am Cup STII Driver's Championship talked about the association with HRPWorld.com: "This is a great opportunity to be racing under the HRPworld.com Racing banner. The Hoerr Speedy Rabbit has been around a long time, and to have that symbol on the hood of the car puts a lot of pressure on you. We learned a lot testing the King Motorsports Integra at the winter test days, and now are ready to start the season opener at Daytona International Speedway."

The prep shop has a long professional history dating back to 1983. In that time, the prep shop has won 4 Driver, Team and Manufacturer Championships.
