Michael Shank Racing Montreal pre-event notes

Frisselle and Valiante Hit the Streets in Montreal for Ford Racing Festival

Columbus, OH (23 August 2010)- Michael Shank Racing drivers Brian Frisselle and teammate Michael Valiante will hit the streets of Montreal this Thursday night for the Ford Racing Festival on Crescent Street as Ford of Canada helps to ratchet up the excitement ahead of Saturday's Montreal 200 for the penultimate round of the 2010 Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal season.

The two young guns, who have led three of the last four Rolex Sports Car Series events with the No. 6 Ford-powered Dallara, will be on hand for a VIP reception, a Q and A session, as well as an autograph-signing session as a section of the famed Crescent Street is shut down and turns the music up in preparation for the big race weekend.

Open to the public, the Ford Racing Festival will also play host for Ford of Canada Executives, Regional representatives and Ford dealers at the reception and street festival. The Blue Oval will be well-represented, with the Ford Zone also featuring NASCAR Nationwide, NHRA and GRAND-AM Mustang FR500S show cars, Ford Fiesta and Raptor as well as live entertainment.
