Freedom Autosport, SPEEDtv.com, and Atlantic Retail Construction unite for KONI Challenge series finale with driver Mike Skeen
Since participating in the SPEED Channel’s hit television show Setup, driver Mike Skeen has been looking to make the next step towards a career in motorsports. After winning the 2008 NASA SpecE30 National Championship and maintaining a 68% win ratio in regional competition, Skeen has taken that next step by signing with Freedom Autosport for the KONI Challenge/GT Live event at VIRginia International Raceway, October 4-5.
The KONI Challenge/GT Live event will play host to dual six hour races for the Street Tuner and Grand Sport classes, Redline Time Attack, Formula Drift Pro-Am, and countless other entertainment activities. With support from Atlantic Retail Construction, Skeen will drive a Freedom Autosport Mazda MX-5 in the Street Tuner race, Saturday at 2 p.m.
Skeen will document this event for SPEEDtv.com with a pre-race article, event updates, post-race article, pictures, and videos. Look for the first of this coverage to begin showing up within the next 5-7 days at SPEEDtv.com and MikeSkeen.com.
Freedom Autosport was new to professional motorsports at the start of the 2008 season, but the team has made big impressions already with multiple Top 5 finishes and a pole at the series’ most recent east coast round at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
