TUCKER PULLS SWEEP IN 2008 FERRARI WORLD FINALS



TUCKER PULLS SWEEP IN 2008 FERRARI WORLD FINALS

Tucker wins Race 2 in similar style to Race 1, with dominance





Overland Park, Kan. (November 8, 2008) - Unstoppable. Driver of the No. 55 Westfund F430 Challenge car, Scott Tucker, has dominated the famed Mugello Autodromo Internazionale circuit this week for the 2008 Ferrari World Finals. With a combination of perserverance and determination, Tucker has taken the checkered flag twice this week, winning both races for Ferrari Challenge North America.



Throughout the season, Tucker has driven the No. 55 Westfund F430 Challenge car, with precision and determination, taking his skills as a driver above and beyond the call of duty. All week Tucker has made his mark as a Ferrari Challenge series notable. Prior to Races 1 and 2, Tucker turned in quickest times taking the leads in both Thursday and Friday's qualifying sessions, leading the group both days.



Raising the bar once again, Tucker proved that the No. 55 Westfund F430 Challenge car, was the car to beat. Today's Ferrari Challenge race would not only prove that, but would also demonstrate that Tucker would once again, become a race winner. Leading the pack from start to finish, the No. 55 Westfund F430 crossed the finish line in its typical winning ways. Tucker ends the season championship standings in second position, just 12 points behind driver Roberto Fata, the 2008 series title champion.



Throughout the season Fata and Tucker have found themselves neck to neck in the series. Fata, a skillful driver himself, has enjoyed the challenge that Tucker produces on the track for him. "Scott Tucker is a great driver and really takes his craft to the next level. I have enjoyed going side-by-side with him throughout the season. I've said it before, he pushes me, he makes me a better driver."



"This week has absolutely been incredible" said Tucker. "The No. 55 Westfund F430 car has seen such a great year. Having won not only one, but both races for Ferrari Challenge North America here in Italy, I can't say enough. It's been a great year, I want to thank the entire team and Boardwalk Ferrari, they have been tremendous to us and have given us the support we've needed all season long to accomplish our goals. "





With only one day left, Sunday, November 9, will see the winners crowned in the Shell Ferrari Historic Challenge as well as the overall champions in their categories at international level. The curtain comes down with a demonstration from Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, winners of the 2008 F1 Constructors' World Championship, followed on track by the F430 GT2 cars, winners of the FIA GT Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours.
