BOAT TEAM HOPES TO GAIN IN SUPERLEAGUE POINTS RACE AT MEMPHIS

MEMPHIS, TN - Herd Racing's #75 Formula 3 tunnel boat team hopes to creep up in the points standings during next weekend's Canadian-American Challenge Cup in Memphis, Tenn.

The team, which started the season with a solid 6th place run in the North American Championships in Pittsburgh, Pa., fell to 9th place in the APR Superleague national points race last weekend after a disappointing 12th place run in the Regional Championship in Marietta, Ohio.

The Herd boat, piloted by team owner Dana Tomes, will leave for Memphis on Thursday, with inspection and practice on the Mississippi River scheduled for Friday afternoon.  Qualifying and heat races will take place as part of the Memphis International Riverfront Regatta, www.memphisregatta.com, on Saturday, while the Canadian-American Challenge Cup final will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 1.

The championship final will be televised on Fox Sports Net and will be shown on a tape-delayed basis by several national cable companies and sports channels with a combined audience of viewers of more than 65 million people, according the SuperLeague Media, www.aprsuperleague.com.
