Sept. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Charlie Shears' race results at Mosport make it mathematically impossible for anyone to surpass his point total in the 2010 Cooper Tires Prototype Lites championship.  “I can’t tell you how much this means to me”, said Charlie.  “I’ve been chasing this for a few years now and I finally had everything go my way.”  “From the opening rounds in Sebring in March, the car has been awesome”.  “I have to thank my team, especially Kenny Mosby who’s kept my car in top form and Mike Davies who’s kept me in top form”.  “CORE autosport came through for me”.  “The entire team works hard to make sure I have everything I need to win”, said Shears.

“It’s been an eventful year and it has not always been easy, but Charlie earned this championship”, said Jonathan Bennett, founder of CORE autosport as well as one of the team drivers”.  “He has been consistently fast, scored points when he needed to and drove cleanly to the championship”, said Bennett  “He deserves this and I’m glad that CORE autosport could help him attain this success.”
