Track owner, Team owner and Race car driver Tony Quinn is set to join the NAPA Central Muscle Cars for the upcoming Nextgen Dayle ITM Hampton Downs Grand Finale held over the March 22-23rd weekend.
Quinn will be driving the ex-Hugh Gardiner 1978 Pontiac Firebird Transam, which was purchased by Quinn last season. When asked how he was feeling about the upcoming event, Quinn had this to say.
"It was one moonlight night in 2023 that I had a brain fart & thought I would buy a Central Muscle Car in NZ, which I did! I haven't driven it since I brought it, never even sat in it to be honest! So now I'm about to sit in it at Hampton Downs with a bunch of other maniac drivers! My main mission is to steer clear of Angus Fogg....when he is lapping me! Am I excited?! Not sure I would say so much excited....more apprehensive!"
He will join the 17 strong car field driving the car competitively for the first time since taking ownership of the car. Tony is also scheduled to drive the car at the Final Round of the season at the Taupo ITM Super 440 as part of the support program for the Supercars in April.
