Having made the announcement on September 10th, the news of Team Sahlen campaigning 2 Mazda RX-8s in the 2010 ROLEX series has spread fast across the internet
During the September 13th Sunday evening The SPEED Report and the following Wind Tunnel on the SPEED Channel, the Team Sahlen announcement was broadcast across the bottom ticker of the 2 Prime Time shows
The Grand-Am Weekly Radio show featured an interview with Will Nonnamaker of Team Sahlen on the September 15th airing at 7 pm on WELE-1380 AM Daytona Beach. During the interview conducted by J.J. O'Malley, Will was able to share the exiting news and what Team Sahlen's goals were for 2010.
At the ROLEX event held at Miller Motorsports Park, the SPEED Channel on air crew were very gracious in not only announcing once but twice to the viewing audience that Mazdaspeed had invited Team Sahlen to campaign 2 RX-8s in the 2010 ROLEX Series.
"It's been truly amazing how many significant media outlets have announcement our 2010 plans. Everyone at Team Sahlen is very excited by the new direction of campaigning Mazda RX-8s in the ROLEX series. But to see the amount of exposure this has received in the media has really built a significant momentum towards 2010. Now we just have to follow through, go out on track and achieve our goals next year to justify the media hype." - states Will Nonnamaker
