Statesville, NC (December 3, 2003) – Leilani Münter and LesCare Kitchens Inc. have announced a partnership for 2004 racing season. The team has already begun to accumulate race cars and set up shop in the 310,000 sq-ft LesCare Kitchens plant in Statesville, North Carolina. For 2004 the team plans to run late models throughout the southeastern United States with the possibility of some NASCAR Busch North, ASA, or ARCA events.
"LesCare Kitchens is proud to be involved with Leilani Münter. Not only is she a promising young race car driver, she is an excellent spokesperson for LesCare Kitchens Inc." said Chairmen and CEO James C. Lestorti, "We look forward to being involved in her racing career in 2004 and beyond. We are in this for the long haul. We are building a race team."
"I can't tell you how happy I am to be a part of the LesCare Kitchens racing family," said Münter, "LesCare has been involved in motorsports for over 14 years and have had a very successful past with drivers like Teddy Christopher, Reggie Ruggiero, Mike 'Magic Shoes' McGlaughlin, and Andy Santerre. I am honored to be a part of their race program and look forward to racing into my future with LesCare Kitchens Inc."
Münter, who has appeared in the magazines FHM, Esquire, Men's Journal and ESPN, addressed the somewhat inordinate amount of media attention she has received as a late model competitor. "I'm thrilled to finally have the chance to be out there racing every weekend. It seems like forever I have been doing publicity trying to land a full time sponsor," said Münter, "Now I can just drive. This is what I've been waiting for."
