ATLANTIC: Genoa Signs Adrian Carrio for '07 Season

2007 is going to ROCK! This kid is really good. I was quite impressed
with his Star Mazda outings last year. He's very fast and very smooth
when running out front. He can also make his car quite wide when
defending. I wouldn't describe him as an aggressive attacker, but he
makes very clean, well-calculated overtaking maneuvers. He's an
outstanding racer.

Genoa Racing announced today that 2006 Star Mazda Champion, Adrian
Carrio, will pilot the No.17 entry in the 2007 Champ Car Atlantic
championship.

Carrio comes to Genoa Racing hot on the heels of an impressive sophomore
season in the hotly-contested Star Mazda Championship. Driving for World
Speed Motorsports, “Ace” won two races, claimed six poles, as well as
eight podium finishes en route to winning the title.

Prior to competing in the Star Mazda Championship, Carrio was part of
the revolutionary “Team 16” effort for the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2005.
He was teamed with two other 16-year-old rookie drivers, competing in
the GT class. The result was a seventh in class and 17th overall finish
in Adrian’s first ever attempt at endurance racing.

“Working with a team that has the depth of knowledge that Genoa Racing
has to offer makes me extremely comfortable with my decision,” Carrio
said. “It will allow me to focus on driving the car and performing to
the best of my abilities. I feel that Genoa Racing and the outstanding
staff that they have assembled will show greatly in my performance and
results alike.”

Genoa Racing is returning to the Atlantic series after competing in the
Championship in the early 90s. Team Owner Angelo Ferro, Team Manager
Thomas Knapp, and Team Consultant Jimmy Vasser have united to
reestablish Genoa Racing and vie for the 2007 Atlantic Championship.
