Speed Touring points leader Jeff Altenburg will drive the No. 13 Woodhouse Performance Dodge Viper Competition Coupe for Round Nine of SPEED World Challenge GT Series Competition at Road Atlanta International Raceway.

“I am very excited to be running in the GT race this weekend,” Altenburg said. “I have only made a few GT starts, but they haven’t been in really competitive rides. Having worked with the Woodhouse Performance Team at Watkins Glen, I know them a little better now and am sure that we will be able to net a good result. The schedule will be much better this time around and I will be more comfortable in the car having driven it just a few races ago.”

The Ellicott City, Md., native drives a MAZDA 6 for Tri Point Motorsports full-time in the SPEED World Challenge Touring Car series. So far the 2007 season has been an incredible success for Altenburg, with wins from the pole in the first two races of the year and a third pole at Mid Ohio, Jeff has 5 podium finishes so far and hasn’t finished outside the top 6 all year. He currently sits atop the championship standings

Altenburg has a long history in the SPEED World Challenge series. With 54-career SCCA Pro-Racing starts in six years of competition, he has accumulated an impressive stack of road racing stats: Four wins, four poles, 25 top-five and 36 top-10 finishes.
