Shea Racing Back Behind the Wheel of a Honda Accord in 2016 Pirelli World Challenge
- 22 Feb 2016
For years now the Orlando, Florida race car driver, Shea Holbrook, has relied on the support, performance, and protection of K&N Filters for her racing efforts. Much of Shea's time spent on the track has been competing in the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) championship series since 2010 behind the wheel of a touring car. Of the PWC series, Shea said "We race what the everyday American drives. With that said we take a showroom car, strip out the interior, cage it and add performance parts to help with the overall durability of the car and flatout make a "stock car" run as fast as it possibly can. In cars like ours a 1 hp difference is huge so, to keep our cars running at top level we need filters that will allow more air entering the engine to increase the efficiency of the combustion process which ultimately means more power! This is what K&N filters provide."
Although 2016 mark's Shea Holbrook's and the Shea Racing team's seventh year competing in various touring car classes, this will be her first full season back in the Pirelli World Championship in several years. In 2015 Shea made the podium twice at the Circuit of the Americas; however she focused much of her time behind the wheel of a jet powered drag car in the IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series. Additionally, Jason Fichter has joined the Shea Racing team and he brings his experience gained racing the Pirelli World Challenge and Trans Am Series TA3 class. Both Holbrook and her teammate Fichter will pilot 2016 Honda Accord models powered by 3.5-liter V6 engines. Fichter will drive the number 7 Mother's Car Care, Fuel Clothing, Donate Life Honda Accord V6, and Holbrook will compete in the number 67 BUBBA Burger, Lucas Oil, Koni Shock Absorber, Hendrick Honda Accord V6.
