ENFIELD, CT (March 11, 2003) -- AutoVantage has joined forces with Busch North Series competitor Tracy Gordon and his GG Motorsports team to compete in the 2003 ASA Racing Series season.

"We are thrilled to be associated with Tracy, and his ASA team," said AutoVantage Vice President Brad Eggleston. "Tracy has proved to be winner in the Busch National North and now that he is moving to ASA, we are confident that he will win there, as well. We are pleased to get to Lakeland in a couple weeks, and begin our partnership with Tracy, and his GG Motorsports team".

AutoVantage helps millions of Americans beat the high costs of buying and maintaining their cars, trucks, and SUVs. Eggleston continued, Our members enjoy 24-hour, seven day-a-week, toll-free, emergency, roadside assistance.

"I'm pleased about this season, and I can't wait to get to Lakeland in a couple weeks," said Tom Granelli, car owner of the number 16 AutoVantage entry. "Tracy drove for me at the 2002 season finale in Winchester and I've been trying to hook up with him for almost a year now.
