Team Bio
Based just outside of Chicago in Mundelein, Illinois, Newman Wachs Racing enters
2009 as its fourth full season of competition in the Cooper Tires Presents
the Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda.
The late Paul Newman and team owner, Eddie Wachs met when they both competed
in the Can-Am series of the mid- 70s. Over the years the pair remained close
and often talked about joining forces to create their own racing team. That
moment came in late 2005 when the pair agreed the format of the Atlantic Championship
met their objectives of creating a team built on the premise of creating opportunity
for both aspiring young drivers and promoting causes.
In less than four years, Newman Wachs Racing has assembled an organization
with a strength-of-depth that combines for over 200 years of top-level motorsports
experience.

Andersen Racing
In
2008 Andersen Racing will field multiple entries in 42 races in 19
states and provinces at some of the best facilities on the continent,
including the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway.
Andersen Racing's principals, brother Dan and John Andersen, have extensive experience
in series administration as well as team management. They've worked with many
of today's top open-wheel stars, including several Indy 500 winners. They also
understand the sport from a family perspective, as both of Dan Andersen's children
raced in the past. Dan's son, Mike Andersen, is a three-time SCCA Formula Continental
national champion.
Andersen Racing is headquartered at Andersen RacePark, an 18-acre facility it
owns in Palmetto, Fla. that includes a 1-mile test track. This also showcases
the team's efforts to always go one step beyond its competition, as even most
teams in racing's major leagues do not own their own testing facility.
Ownership of a test track in sunny Florida greatly enhances Andersen Racing's
testing program. Other teams in various series may rent the track for testing
as the track's schedule permits. Andersen RacePark also hosts an active karting
community. More information on the track is available at andersenracepark.com.
Andersen Racing is sponsored by Allied Building Products Corp.

at the 1998 Indianapolis 500 in conjunction with Thomas Knapp
Motorsports. Some of its past drivers include Ivan Capelli,
Thiago Medeiros, Jimmy Vasser and Greg Ray.
Knapp also managed Team Menard in 1999 when it won the Indy Racing League championship.
He was also the engineer for the pole-winning car at the 2000 Indy 500
