it says:
BALTIMORE, Md. (Sept. 4, 2011) – Multi-time Sports Car Club of America Solo Champion Jeff Kiesel, of Poway, Calif., has been named the latest SCCA Star Performer, as revealed in the ESPN3.com and ABC broadcasts of the American Le Mans Series Presented by Tequila Patron Baltimore Grand Prix.
Kiesel earned his first-ever Gumout Super Challenge win on Sunday, Aug. 28, topping the 260-car field at the Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo Finale in Lincoln, Neb. Less than a week later, Kiesel earned his sixth SCCA National Championship at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships driving his E Modified rotary turbocharged Austin-Healey Sprite.
As part of its relationship with the American Le Mans Series Presented by Tequila Patron, one SCCA member will be announced as the Star Performer during each ALMS series broadcast. Past winners include Robert Thorne, Chip Van Vurst, Scott Rettich, Ron Sharp, and, now, Jeff Kiesel. The next SCCA Star Performer will be announced during the broadcast from Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Sunday, Sept. 18.
Way to go Jeff!
