The entire crew at Team Sahlen is working hard to push to the front of the GT field in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16.  Team Sahlen has already established themselves as solid Top 10 contenders in 2010, with 7^th, 10^th and 9^th place finishes in the 1^st three rounds of the season.  Now as the season enters the 2^nd Quarter, Team Sahlen is working to become a Top 5 contender every weekend.  

“When we started this season fresh with our Mazda RX-8s, the goal was clear: to assist Mazda in winning the GT class Manufacturers Crown.   And for our team to be off assistance in this endeavor, we have to continue to evolve to be not only a Top 10 finisher every weekend, but a consistent threat to Top 5 finishes.  We are making huge strides, and we have even bigger plans as we enter the 2^nd quarter of the season.” – states Joe Sahlen.

Drivers for the #43 Team Sahlen Mazda RX-8 will be Joe and Wayne Nonnamaker.  Currently #43 is in 7^th place in the GT Team Standings. Additionally, Team Sahlen will be entering the #42 Mazda RX-8 with drivers Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker.   Team Sahlen’s #42 is just outside the GT Top 10, in 12^th place.
