Grosman returns to Tom Walters Racing for Sophmore Spin

 Miami-based Racer Looks Forward to Great Second Year at Sunset Speedway

TORONTO, ON - (FEBRUARY 25th, 2011) After a stellar rookie year, Sean Grosman announced he will return to the Late Model Championship Series at Sunset Raceway Series in 2011, and will continue to drive the #29 car for Tom Walters Racing.

 The only rookie to win a Late Model feature race during the 2010 season, Miami Florida's Grosman is eager to build on the momentum of his breakout first year.

 "I had some options out there, but after teaming with Tom Walters in 2010, and seeing how professional his operation is, and the chemistry we had as a team, I felt that I had the best chance of picking up where I left off by coming back."

 "The car was great, and Tom has assured me he'll be completely overhauling it for 2011. So needless to say, I'm very excited to see where an even improved #29 SMG Motorsports, Flagship Property Ventures, Rylex Glass and Mirror, Landing Strip, For Your Eyes Only car takes me."

 After finishing the 2010 series in 12th place overall, and 2nd among rookies, Grosman has much loftier aspirations for 2011.

 "This is a very very VERY competitive series, and I really respect the other drivers, so I know I have my work cut out for me, but we'd really like to be in the winners' circle at least twice this year, and break into the top seven."

 While Grosman turned heads during his rookie season, his success is fuelled in part by the close participation of his family, namely his wife Candace, and sons Tyler, Jesse, and Kyle.

 "Its great having not only Sean back behind the wheel of the #29 late model with me, but also to have his delightful family back at the track in 2011," said Walters.  

 "We're looking forward to great things from Sean this year."

 According to Grosman, that family component was, and always will be, crucial to his success behind the wheel.

 "I have to travel a long way from Florida and if Tom and the first class staff and volunteers at Sunset didn't make my family feel so welcome, and such a big part of my team, it really wouldn't have been worth it for me."
