Mall will team up with Konrad Motorsports to campaign a Saleen S7 in the grueling race. Both Saleens that make up the two-car team will be outfitted with K&N Filters livery in addition to the colors of Konrad Motorsport's other sponsors. <BR> <BR> Held June 15-16, Le Mans is regarded as one of the premier motorsports event in the world. Racing a Saleen S7 with Konrad Motorsports, Mall is fulfilling a life-long dream to race at Le Mans. <BR> <BR> "I have been racing Grand-Am to build experience with the hopes of getting an invitation to drive at Le Mans," commented Mall. "When Konrad called with the opportunity I didn't have to think long. This truly is the chance of a lifetime. I will be bringing some of my Grand-Am crew with me - two of which helped build the first Saleens." <BR> <BR> Racing a similarly-prepared Saleen, Mall and co driver Chris Bingham won the most recent Grand American GTS race at Phoenix International Raceway. <BR> <BR> "Phoenix was my first time behind the wheel of the S7 and I felt completely at home. Though I haven't set my expectations too high, I hope to do well at Le Mans. I know I'll be racing against some of the best drivers in the world." <BR> <BR> Mall also raced at the 24 hours of Daytona in February. Though the car experienced mechanical difficulties, the team gained valuable experience and they are looking forward to a great race at Le Mans.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
