De Phillippi Wins BIG!!!!
– Braselton, GA (Sept. 25, 2009)
RedLine Athletics client, Connor De Phillippi (San Clemente, CA) has been named as one of two recipients of prestigious Team USA Scholarships. He will follow in the footsteps of an array of accomplished American drivers who have earned these awards since Jimmy Vasser became the first Team USA Scholarship winner in 1990.
De Phillippi will have an opportunity to fly his nation’s colors in two world-renowned events in England later this month – the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch and the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone.
“I am thrilled to be representing the United States and the Team USA Scholarship,” said 16-year-old De Phillippi, who has taken a commanding lead in this year’s BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda, winning seven of 10 races held thus far. “It is my first big shot to prove myself on the European circuit. I look forward to meeting many new people in the racing community and hopefully posting some excellent results.”
RedLine is proud to be Connor’s training facility of choice and wish him the best of luck in Europe!!
