C360R AND ASHENBACH HONOURED BY AUTO WRITERS

Burbank, CA – Compass360 Racing and team driver Lawson Aschenbach will be celebrated by the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association (AARWBA) following their outstanding 2011 World Challenge season, as part of the AARWBA All-America Team Banquet.

Since 1970, the national motorsports professionals association has announced its annual "All America Team". Members of AARWBA each year elect special teams of drivers who represent the broad spectrum of professional motorsports. AARWBA then bring them all together at a gala dinner gathering where each is presented with the organization's coveted "Horsepower" trophy, which symbolizes top performance in each category. Members across the country vote on drivers by the specific category of racing which they participate in and two drivers from each of the disciplines are elected to either a first or second team.

Aschenbach made the list in the Touring Series category winning five races and an equal number of poles in his #71 C360R Honda Civic Si. Compass360 Racing earned the team title in Touring Car for their support of Aschenbach’s season, boosting Honda to their sixth Manufacturers’ Championship and first since 1996. 

The team's achievements and those of all honorees will be celebrated at the 42nd AARWBA All-America Team Banquet, which takes place on January 8, 2012 in the Grand Hall at the Train Station of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Indianapolis, IN. Tickets are available to the public at www.aarwba.org.
