Who's driving the Tower Concepts car?
Adam Andretti
comes from a racing family. Mario Andretti, Adam's uncle, has a long
history of racing success. He is the only driver to have won both the
Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 and is a former Formula 1 champion.
Cousin Michael Andretti currently drives for Newman Haas on the Indy
car circuit, cousin Jeff races IndyLights and brother John drives the
Little Caesars/KMart car on the NASCAR series.
Adam is 16 years old and is in his first year of racing. Already
he has shown that he has the potential to follow in the footsteps of
his family. Winner recently at the 1/2 mile oval at the Volusia County
Speedway in Florida as well as a 3rd place at Hawkeye Downs 1/4 mile
oval the following week, shows that Adam is on the move. According to
Kirk Miles, Mini Cup marketing director, "Adam is one of our most
promising young drivers."
Tower Concepts is very pleased to sponsor a future star in the world of
motor sports. And of course, all of the racers are of excellent calibur,
and we'd encourage you to review information on
some other MCR drivers. You can even download some nice images
of their cars!
So... what are these things again!?
Basically, they are scaled down versions of full power stock cars.
But... although they have scaled down dimensions, they do not
have scaled down capablity. They're serious racing machines which
blaze along at over 100 MPH! Check out these details...

What's Mini Cup Racing got to do
with problem tracking and file version control?
We've gotta admit there's pretty much nothing linking these various issues.
But, it's an awful lot of fun, and it's a chance for us to sponsor one
of the most promising young drivers in the racing circuit.
As a company, we're a pretty dynamic and diversified crowd. You can get
various ones of us heated and pumped about a variety of topics (martial
arts, hospice health care programs, adoption, football, hockey). As we
find them, we try to provide links to various web sites from here. We
even have a
page devoted to pointers
to some of these things.
Here's some others while we're at it...
