Skip Barber’s 35th Anniversary Triple Crown announced

22nd December 2009

Skip Barber Racing School today announced the Skip Barber 35th Anniversary Triple
Crown, the first interdisciplinary race series of its kind. Each of the three Race Weekends in the Triple Crown
will utilize both the open-wheel Formula Skip Barber race cars of the Skip Barber Race Series and the Mazda
MX-5 Cup car cars of the Skip Barber MAZDASPEED Challenge. The Triple Crown Champion will earn $4,500
in credit toward future Skip Barber Racing School events.

“We want to do some fun things for the company’s 35th anniversary and create something that many of our
current and past racers would like to participate in”, said Todd Snyder, Vice President of Competition for Skip
Barber Racing School. “We’ve had runoffs before to see “who is the best” but this will be an opportunity to see
who the best is in multiple cars on three of the most famous tracks in North America. We are still working on the
details (like celebrity drivers and instructors, etc.) but this is going to be something you don’t want to miss!”
