Homestead, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2010 -- Racing sensation, Owen Trinkler is entering the Homestead 200 at the Homestead Miami Speedway on March 5-6, 2010 with intentions to mount a rebound from a rough start of the 2010 series. Trinkler who will be driving with Randy Smalley for RSR Motorsports has a strong track record at the Homestead Miami Speedway. His car will be car 196, a Mini Cooper S, sponsored by Cruise America/Grand Fondo Cycles and P1 Groupe. Motor sports fans across the nation will be watching to see if Homestead is lucky for Trinkler once again.

"Randy, myself and the full RSR team are really looking forward to Homestead to rebound from a rough start to the 2010 season,” said Owen Trinkler. “We have a pretty good record at Homestead, it's a circuit our team knows well and our cars have always been strong there. Our goal is still the Team Championship for 2010, and that means we need to start getting really strong results now. We'll be putting on a great show for the fans in Miami!"

Trinkler spearheaded the development of the GT2 Corvette that ran in the ALMS in 2000. This is his third full season with RSR Motorsports in the Mini Cooper S. He has consulted and trained for Audi, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Panoz, and Subaru. He was selected as one of the 25 young Drivers in the USA to participate in the distinguished Team Green's Indy Car Academy Scholarship.

In 2009 Trinkler qualified in Pole Position on two occasions and had a season-best finish of 4th place at Barber Motorsports Park while leading laps in a number of races for his RSR Motorsports team in the Mini Cooper S race car. This is in addition to the two pole positions he earned for the same team in the 2008 racing season, but shadows in comparison to his many racing accomplishments.
