Junior Open Wheel Talent

F2000 front runner Kyle Marcelli decided to try his hand at racing a car with fenders last weekend. Marcelli was selected by John Lockhart, team owner of JL Racing, to run their Saab 93 at Mosport in the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship. Marcelli may be part of a growing trend of open wheel drivers looking to expand their careers into the sports car world....should this be the case;... Marcelli showed quite well. The young Canadian drove from the back of the field Saturday to finish a solid 4th in his debut. He followed up Saturday's performance with a podium run on Sunday, concluding the day in 2nd. Let's hope the youngster stays in the open wheel ranks, but either way he has a bright future ahead.
