From The Atlantic Championship
The worlds of gaming, racing, Hollywood, and women sports all merged today when it was announced in California that Frankie Muniz and Simona De Silvestro would be teaming up for the 2009 Atlantic Championship as part of Team Stargate Worlds(tm).
The team will be operated by US RaceTronics but will run under the banner of Team Stargate Worlds. The sponsorship is unique in that Muniz and De Silvestro will be featured in the upcoming Stargate Worlds massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
Muniz returns to the Atlantic series after a collecting three top-10 race results in 2008 and narrowly missed finishing inside the top 10 in the championship. This marks Muniz's third year in the series and his second year with the team.
De Silvestro made history last year by becoming the second woman in Atlantic Championship history to win a race by taking the season-opening Challenge of Long Beach.
In addition to her historic win last year, De Silvestro's 2008 season included eight top-10 finishes and a career-best eighth-place position in the final championship standings.
