New York, NY – Greisiger Motorsports has signed driver Gregory Jezarian to pilot the Triad Magnetics Van Diemen for the 2009 Formula 2000 Championship Series season. Jezarian recently auditioned for the team at the 2008 NAARC Runoffs at Lime Rock finishing second and impressing GMI management. GMI issued the following statement: “GMI is very pleased to have the services of Greg Jezarian for the 2009 SCCA and Pro F-2000 Championship programs. He has demonstrated a commitment to the sport and great success on the race track.”

Sponsors Triad Magnetics, G.Jezarian Fine Jewelry, JSS Peformance, EchoValleyDesign.com, and MathisenMedia will all be part of the 2009 campaign with more partners to be announced shortly.

Jezarian is no stranger to the open-wheel world, having run the last two seasons in a Formula Atlantic in various venues. Greg has two wins under his belt with his Atlantic team and is eager to taste success in 2009 in F-2000, “I’m super thankful to have the support of Greisiger Motorsports for next season. The last two seasons we struggled so hard with our budget compared with other efforts it often felt like I was bringing a knife to a gunfight. Now we’ve got the support and backing to run two cars next season and I couldn’t be happier. We’re excited to get to work.”

GMI will reorganize for 2009 to campaign an FC and FA entry in SCCA Nationals toward an invitation for the National Championship Runoffs to be held at Road America next fall. Greg Jezarian will drive the FA while Bill Hoops will pilot the FC entry. Kurt Greisiger explains; “GMI is prepared to contest the SCCA 2009 National Championship Runoffs with complimentary teams for driving and staff support and having experience in this venue previously.” Additional announcements with regard to the new organization will be forthcoming.

The team will begin a testing program for the off-season shortly. A link to the EFCN article can be found here.

New York, NY–PULS Media television and print journalist, Gosia Kaminska, will be covering Greisiger Motorsports as Gregory Jezarian campaigns pro-F2000 and SCCA Formula Atlantic for the 2009 season. Race results and team updates will be reported in both Polish and English language in a special column in the magazine, PULS Blizej Polonii.  Ms. Kaminska will be joining GMI at select North East races with a camera crew for footage to be shown on Polish TV.
 
  Kaminska adds, “The Polish community in America have been fascinated with formula racing ever since  Robert Kubica began making news in Formula 1. We want to provide our viewers and magazine readers with more of the racing news they crave. We are also excited to introduce the team’s engineer [Monika Mandok] to our readers. There are very few women involved in racing and Monika’s journey from Poland to New York will be inspiring for women here and abroad”  (Before settling in New York, Monika Mandok was trained as a mechanical engineer at the University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.)

 
Jezarian: “I think it’s great Gosia and PULS Media will be reporting on our team next season.  I know Monika’s story in particular will have a lot of women fired up and following our efforts next season. I can’t wait until next year!”
