By

Jason Saini, championship runner-up in 2009, will race this weekend in the World Challenge race at Mid-Ohio in a Mazdaspeed3 run by Team ZoomZoom Nation.

The car will be backed by Autobarn Mazda of Countryside.

Jason Saini led the World Challenge Touring series for most of 2009, being pipped in the final round by Pierre Kleinubing. Since then, Saini has been a regular competitor in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series as well as the Redline Time Attack time trial series in the US.

With the addition of the ZoomZoom Nation Mazdaspeed3, the number of cars competing in the touring car category this weekend is increased to 15 cars, in addition to the seven GTS competitors and the GT sportscar class.
