Fans and supporters of race-winning team from Minnesota invited to enhanced information and entertainment at AfterburnerAutosport.com

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – Afterburner Autosport is excited to announce the unveiling of its new online presence...AfterburnerAutosport.com. Ahead of challenging for supremacy in the 2014 edition of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda, a new team website has been created to inform and entertain followers and supporters of the race-winning Minnesota-based squad.

Since its inception, Afterburner Autosport has been focused toward leading the way, on and off the track. Well-aware that promotion and marketing are key ingredients to success in modern motorsports, Afterburner Autosport has created a new team website at AfterburnerAutosport.com. Designed and implemented by Reno Tomasi of Tomasi Design, the new modern website provides valuable information regarding the team, its drivers, and supporters, in a functional and intuitive manner. Highlights of the new website include increased multimedia, social media representation, and timely updates.

"With the need to constantly evolve and grow, we feel this will help our partners and our drivers sponsors show value," commented team principal Tim Walsh. "We are excited to offer this new website to highlight our drivers and team."

Afterburner Autosport enters the 2014 season as a strong contender for top honors, and with momentum building. The highly-regarded junior formula car squad ended the 2013 USF2000 Championship season with two wins in the final four races, as well as an additional trip to the post-race podium celebrations. The team followed that up by posting the fastest lap in the two-day annual year-end Chris Griffis Memorial Mazda Road to Indy Test at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. Afterburner Autosport recently continued to highlight its position as a race-winning outfit, capturing the win in the opening round of the Cooper Tires Winterfest for the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda at NOLA Motorsports Park outside of New Orleans.

This coming season, Afterburner Autosport will contest the entire 14-race USF2000 Championship via a three-car effort. Driving for the Minnesota team will be Brazilian rookies Victor Franzoni, who was victorious in the Winterfest opener, and Gustavo Myasava, as well as second-year Dutch racer Jeroen Slaghekke.

The quest for additional Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda race wins, and potentially a series title commences on March 29-30, when the season-opener doubleheader takes place on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla., as part of the IZOD IndyCar Series opener. Afterburner Autosport is currently in full preparation mode for the Florida twin bill, working on the cars, and going over data and video.
