City of Barrie Native Kyle Marcelli Races On the International Stage

(Barrie, Ontario) February 8th 2010 – As local Barrie native Kyle Marcelli prepares to take the next step in his professional racing career driving for the Miami based team of Primetime Race Group in the 2010 American LeMans Series, Kyle will have the City of Barrie’s support each step of the way.

Barrie’s Kyle Marcelli has been signed to Primetime Race Group for 2010. Kyle will be competing on the international stage in the prestigious American LeMans Series. Not only will Kyle be representing the red and white of Canada as the only Canadian in the series but also the City of Barrie.

“The City of Barrie is extremely proud of Kyle Marcelli’s talent, entrepreneurship, and growing achievements. In my deliberations with Kyle, he reflects well on our community’s strong, young talent pool that continues to take advantage of world stage opportunities. We look forward to continuing to work with Kyle in not only promoting his success as one of our own, but to also leverage his name-brand and service to the public here in Barrie. We wish him a great season!” Said Hany Kirolos – Director, Strategy & Economic Development

“To have the support from my home city means a lot to me. Barrie seems to breed a lot of many talented athletes in all genres and it’s a privilege to be apart of that list and a city with such great heritage.” Said Kyle Marcelli.

Kyle will be working together with the City throughout the year on many diverse and strategic marketing and PR campaigns to promote the Kyle Marcelli brand and leverage more awareness to his valued sponsor partners throughout the City of Barrie and Ontario. The City of Barrie plans to have Kyle Marcelli and Primetime Race Group’s #11 LeMans Prototype on hand at Barrie’s beautiful lakeshore for a show car appearance at some point during the month of August as the American LeMans Series visits Mosport International Raceway located in Bomanville, Ontario for round eight of the championship. Stay tuned for further details.

“I’m very thrilled to be working together with the City of Barrie to create more awareness and excitement within Barrie’s 140,000 residents. This is going to be great value and exposure for my local sponsor partners. We have some big ideas and venues in the works such as PA announcements, radio and television ads, charity events and much more!” Said Kyle Marcelli.

Currently, Kyle is spending his time in Miami as he is on a strict testing and fitness schedule in preparation for the opening race in Sebring, Florida – The historic Mobile 1 12-Hours of Sebring International Raceway.
