Flex-Box, Magnus Racing Commit to Full 2013 Season

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (April 2, 2013)- After campaigning the first two rounds of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series together, Magnus Racing and Flex-Box have agreed to continue their partnership for the full 2013 season.

“We’ve had a great start to the 2013 season, clearly the Flex-Box graphics are a great luck charm,” stated Magnus Racing Team Owner John Potter. “We’ve really enjoyed using our paddock and trackside experience as a means of entertaining the various guests who’ve come through, and I’m very happy to continue this through the duration of the season.”

Flex-Box, based out of Hong Kong, is a leading worldwide supplier of new and used shipping, storage and reefer containers. The company manufactures and ships containers to customers all over the world, keeping a year round inventory of containers in China, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America.

With the familiar blue rectangle of Flex-Box adorning the side of the no. 44 Porsche GT3 Cup for the first two rounds of the season, the original arrangement was to run select events throughout the series championship. However, after leading more laps than any other team at this year’s Rolex 24 at Daytona en route to fifth, followed by a podium most recently at Circuit of the Americas, both Flex-Box and Magnus Racing have decided to simply continue on for the full season.

“We are very pleased to continue with Magnus Racing through the remainder of the season,” stated Henrik Nielsen, Founder of Flex-Box. “They are obviously a very fun team, but they’re also great with our guests, and their performance on track speaks for itself. The 2013 season is off to a great start, and we really look forward to seeing the Flex-Box Porsche in victory lane.”

With the third round of the GRAND-AM Rolex Series in only three days’ time at the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingam, Alabama, the team will look to expand their series point lead.

The Porsche 250 will take place this Saturday, April 6, with coverage on SPEED the following day, April 7, at 5:30PM ET.
