\nESPN television\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highly acclaimed weekly motorsports magazine, SpeedWeek, will feature a segment on 1995 Valvoline Team USA Formula 3 Scholarship winner Memo Gidley during its regularly scheduled half-hour show to be broadcast tomorrow evening. The program will air at 9.30 p.m. (Friday) on the West Coast and 12.30 a.m. (Saturday) on the East Coast.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Team USA concept is really beginning to take off,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says scholarship founder (and motorsports writer) Jeremy Shaw. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Valvoline and TrueChoice have been with us from the start, in 1990, but this year I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been especially encouraged by the fact that Miller Brewing, American Honda, LCI International and Firestone — also major players in the motorsports world — have seen fit to lend their support to what I believe is a truly worthwhile project.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153All our scholarship winners, from Jimmy Vasser (1990) and Bryan Herta (1991) through to Memo Gidley (1995), have benefited enormously from the opportunities provided by the award, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m delighted that the efforts and enthusiasm of our sponsors will be recognized on SpeedWeek.<\/p>\n
RACER magazine also will be featuring Team USA in an upcoming issue. All of this coverage helps to raise the profile of our program, which already has been extremely successful in nurturing the careers of some of this country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s finest young race car drivers.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Incidentally, this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s edition of SpeedWeek also will feature an exclusive interview with Indy Car driver Stan Fox, who continues to make a startling recovery from his near-fatal crash during the Indianapolis 500 this past May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
