(Atlanta, GA) -- Zach Lutz is poised to return to Mitchum Motorsports for the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Festival at Historic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on September 8th, 2012. Lutz will be joined by a promising fresh face to the Grand-Am paddock Adam Isman in the Mitchum Motorsports #60 BMW 128i in the ST class.
Lutz, coming off of a successful event at Indy with Mitchum, is enthusiastic about this event. Lutz remarked: "Wow, this deal really came together at the last minute… Just last night I wasn't sure if Chris (team principal at Mitchum Motorsports) and I were going to be able to pull this thing off, but man… we all hustled and made something happen! I can't wait to get out to beautiful, sunny California with Adam and drive at such an awesome track as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and go for a spot on the podium! Driving with Adam is going to be an absolute pleasure… he's a new face in the Grand-Am paddock and with his experience in the Canadian Touring Car series and his karting background, I really feel like we're going to have a shot at a great result. I've got to say thanks to Chris and Adam for making this whole deal come together!"
The Mitchum Motorsports BMW 128i has undergone significant development throughout the 2012 season and the whole squad feels like this will be a great track to showcase the abilities of the BMW. Chris Mitchum noted: "With the BMWs being a new program for 2012 we have made a lot of progress with development of the BMW this season. After facing a little adversity early in the year, we have now proven we have a competitive effort!"
