“Given our experience with the new Mustang in other Grand Am sanctioned road racing events it only seemed natural that we contest for the Miller Cup with our current car owners and drivers Jim Click, Mike McGovern, and Jamie Slone. Completing our 4-car team will be car owner and driver Mike Harvison of the #11 USTEST Fuel Management Mustang FR500S, participant in both Porsche Club of America and Koni Challenge events.

We are ecstatic to be with Rehagen and look forward to the sprint format of racing.” Slone is also the owner of his vehicle.

Rehagen Racing is staffed by a prestigious team that includes Larry Rehagen who is a Ford Engineering Technical Specialist and Dean Martin, a former chassis engineer with Ford. You can learn more about their team and follow them through the racing season at RehagenRacing.com.
