It\u2019s meant that the Team Falken Tire squad has been as busy as ever in the lead-up to the season-opening 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida, where it will compete in GT2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2010 car isn\u2019t just new itself but along with that comes a different shock package, a different wing and aero package,\u201d Sellers said. \u201cThere is a lot to run through before the race comes around. We\u2019re a little behind the curve because we\u2019re developing the car and the tires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty big deal to have Wolf on board,\u201d he added. \u201cAnyone who watches the Series knows who Wolf is. He\u2019s won a championship, won a lot of races and sat on a number of podiums. To be associated with him has brought the level of the team up and has brought the credibility of the team up. It will certainly make me along with everyone else better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patr\u00f3n will open its 12th season with America\u2019s greatest sports car race, the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida from March 17-20. The green flag will fall at 10:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, March 20 with live coverage on SPEED starting at 10 a.m. ET. Visit the Series\u2019 schedule page for ticket and accommodation information.
