RAYHALL TO MAKE PROTOTYPE LITES CHAMPIONSHIP DEBUT WITH COMPRENT MOTOR SPORTS

ATHENS, GA. (September 26, 2011) – Comprent Motor Sports is excited to announce it is adding a championship-winning racer to its Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Championship driver line-up for the Petit Le Mans season-finale doubleheader. Sean Rayhall, the 2010 SCCA Pro Racing Formula Enterprises Series champion, will make his pro sports racer debut at Road Atlanta on September 29-30, reuniting with the Georgia-based team as part of a SCCA Enterprises initiative.

Comprent Motor Sports has a long history of working with talented racers, in both the junior formula car and sports racer ranks, and that trend will continue when the chase for the 2011 Prototype Lites Championship concludes with Rounds 13 & 14 at Road Atlanta. Thanks in large part to a sponsorship program by SCCA Enterprises to support its pro champions, Rayhall will get behind the wheel of the No. 77 SCCA Enterprises/Comprent Motors Sports Elan DP02 for the season-finale in Georgia. The Petit Le Mans event doubleheader will mark a reunion between Rayhall and Comprent Motor Sports, as the 16 year-old captured the SCCA Pro Racing Formula Enterprises Series title last season with the Georgia team, becoming the youngest SCCA Pro Racing champion in history.
