"We're excited to be back on the track with our SCCA partnership, increasing interest in the SCCA competition and bring our new and exciting products to the track."   "We're excited to partner with Volkswagen, both through its contingency program and now as the Official Pace Car," said Eric Prill, SCCA vice president, marketing and communications. "Volkswagen has a rich history of motorsports, particularly grassroots racing and we're proud to help carry on that tradition."   Two Volkswagen GLI Fahrenheits will serve as the official pace cars and have received body kit upgrades, full graphics package and a full light package. The vehicles will be present at all World Challenge races remaining in 2007 and through 2009. The same vehicles will also pace all 25 races at the National Championship Runoffs at Heartland Park Topeka Oct. 12-14.   In

Earlier in the 2007 season, Volkswagen announced a contingency award program with a payout amount of up to $300,000 available to Volkswagen participants in SCCA. The automaker has already awarded more than $48,000 in contingency prize money this season. The contingency program is designed to monetarily reward Volkswagen drivers when they compete and finish on the podium at SCCA sanctioned events.
