Yoparts.com sponsored Formula DRIFT driver Ryan Tuerck takes home 1st place at Round 1 Streets of Long Beach!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 17, 2009 – North Hampton, NH

This past weekend, the downtown streets of Long Beach, California were host to the first round of the 2009 Formula Drift Championships. Yoparts.com sponsored driver Ryan Tureck of the ever infamous Drift Alliance; piloted his Gardella Racing/Maxxis Tire/Mobil 1 Pontiac Solstice GXP to the top of the podium taking home the championship trophy for the first time in his 4 years of drift competition. In front of an estimated 7000 spectators, Ryan drove flawlessly and aggressively through the technically difficult course, infamously known as the “Streets of Long Beach”. On his trip to the podium, Ryan was met with some very stiff competition which included two Formula Drift veterans and past champions Samuel Hubinette and Tanner Foust. Like the story of David and Goliath, Tuerck was able to slay these two mighty giants. First; over coming last years champion Tanner Foust in the final 4 round of competition, allowing him to move on to the final round against Samuel Hubinette. Driving flawlessly against the “Crazy Swede”, the tandem battle saw 4 “one more time” called but Ryan and his Solstice never faltered and at the end, he found himself on the top of the podium. Yoparts.com as an official sponsor of the Gardella Racing Pontiac Solstice was honored to provide Ryan and his team with some key components to aid Gardella racing in their upcoming season of competition. Yoparts.com provided an APR Carbon Fiber wing, Tial Twin 44mm wastegates, and an Alpha Q blow off

valve. A new face to the action auto-sport of drifting, Yoparts.com had never sponsored a drift team before but saw this opportunity with Gardella Racing, not as a traditional sponsorship, but an opportunity to partner for success. We at Yoparts.com look forward to continued success with Gardella Racing and Ryan Tureck. We would also like to extend our most enthusiastic congratulations to Ryan Tuerck and the Gardella Racing team on an incredible weekend of competition. Good luck in Atlanta!
