“I’m excited to join John Hantz and the Hantz Group in building a winning soccer team, as well as a successful sports and entertainment company,” Bibb stated. “We have a great deal of work to do, but I’m eager to get started on bringing successful professional indoor soccer to Michigan.”

SOUTHFIELD, MI September 29th, 2005

It’s hard to believe that the 2005 ARCA RE/MAX Series season is coming to an end already, but as teams roll into Talladega Superspeedway they will be taking the green flag for the last time of the year.  

The Hantz Group and Cunningham Motorsports are very excited about the Food World 300 at Talladega and equally pleased with their accomplishments throughout the year.  

The team has acquired five top five finishes and 10 top tens throughout the season and have run up front at almost every race they attended this year which is quite a feat considering they had six different drivers in their race cars including Mike Guerity, Steve Wallace, Ronnie Hornaday III, Skip McCord, Roland Rehfeld and Chris Moore. 

Through it all the car sits 8th in car owner points heading into Talladega. 

“The team has had some adversity against them all year because it has been extremely difficult getting any chemistry going with so many different faces each weekend,” said Aaron Thierry, the Vice President of Hantz Group Racing. “But that just shows you how hard our team has worked to put up those kinds of numbers all year and that really embodies the spirit of our company.” 

The Hantz Group team will be taking chassis number 51 to Talladega, which is the car they finished 4th with at Daytona in February after qualifying 7th.  

And with a Mike Ege Racing Engine under the hood, horsepower should be no problem at Talladega.  

Mike Guerity will be back behind the wheel for the last race of the year coming off his impressive runner up finish during the Hantz Group 200 race at Michigan International Speedway in August. 

“I’m really excited about driving this car at Talladega,” said Guerity.  “It was nothing short of amazing at Daytona and never ran out of the top ten.  It practiced, qualified and ran top ten all week.  The Mike Ege engine was ridiculous.  Coming off the second place finish at Michigan I am really focused on finishing this year on a good note.” 

Furthermore, Cunningham Motorsports and the Hantz Group will be running an all-white car with sponsorship from Prudential Financial at Talladega. 

“I really appreciate everything that Prudential Financial has done for us this year,” said Guerity. “ They were on the car at both Pocono events where we finished 5th and 8th.  This car should look really sharp and I can’t wait for them to see it.  I am honored to be driving for the people at the Hantz Group and Prudential Financial and hopefully when the checkered flag drops we can bring home a win.”
