Sears Point: Terry Borcheller preview

ACEMCO Ferrari

Terry Borcheller will be back in a Ferrari for the American Le Mans Series race at Infineon Raceway (formerly Sears Point Raceway) this weekend. It's the same manufacturer, but a new experience for the Phoenix driver, who will make his first start with the ACEMCO Motorsports team. Borcheller and Shane Lewis of Jupiter, Fla., will drive the No. 63 Ferrari 360 Modena GT in the two-hour 45-minute race on the 1.53-mile road course in Sonoma, Calif.

"It's great to be here, my first race in the ACEMCO Ferrari, and driving with Shane Lewis," Borcheller said. "I really like the track. The Ferrari is down on power to the Porsches, but this is a track where, if you hit the setup right, you can run toward the front. And the Ferrari has tremendous fan appeal - they really love the car."

Borcheller returned to his home state of Florida for a brief vacation last week and found himself at a beauty pageant! He and his wife Tracy were selected as judges for the first round of competition for the title of Miss Grand Prix Americas. The American Le Mans Series will be the featured Saturday race during the Grand Prix Americas race weekend, scheduled for Sept. 26 to 28 in Miami.
