Subaru Road Racing Team Moves Focus to Miami Race

Subaru WRX STI at Homestead-
Phoenixville, PA – March 1, 2010
Subaru Road Racing Team (SRRT) drivers Andrew Aquilante and Bret Spaude will contest round 2 of the GRAND-
“Having raced a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B here last year in the ST class, I’m familiar with this track,” said Aquilante. “In a way, the layout of the Homestead road racing course, which is a combination of their NASCAR oval track and an infield circuit, is very similar to Daytona Speedway where we raced in January. Only…a mile shorter!”

“We learned a few lessons at Daytona,” said Aquilante, wistfully. “After missing qualifying due to some technical hurdles and thus, having to start at the rear of the field in 40th spot, both Bret and Andrew did a fine job to work their way back to 15th.

“Andrew and Brett can learn a lot this year from John, as will the rest of the team. John brings a wealth of experience, a will to win and attention to detail that is second to none,” said Joe Aquilante. “I think of John as our team’s “Grand Master” to our young drivers, teaching and mentoring.”
Practice will be the morning of Friday, March 5, with qualifying that afternoon at 4:35. The 2.5-
