Caputo Backs 14-Year-Old Motorsports Driver to National Victory

Wiscon Corporation-Sponsored Timmy Megenbier Moves up to International Competition in Portugal

(Melrose Park, Ill., Oct. 3, 2006) — Wiscon Corporation, and its Caputo brand, is celebrating the Champ Car Rotax Max USA Grand Nationals 1st place victory of Timmy Megenbier, national professional motorsports driver. Reaching speeds of up to 130 mph in a Formula Dodge R/T 2000, this was one of three races Timmy participated in during the annual Road America event in Elkhart Lake, Wis., over the weekend of September 22-23, 2006.

This major motorsport achievement qualifies Timmy to take on the world’s best drivers at the Rotax 2006 World Finals in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, on November 14-18, 2006. During the same weekend, Timmy also participated in two more races during the Skip Barber National Series where he placed 2nd and 4th respectively.

Immediately following the 2006 Road America victory of his son, Timmy’s father said, “Thank you to Nat Caputo…Nat stepped up last year to help get Timmy his first car ride, and is our primary sponsor on the Skip Barber car. While looking for sponsors all over the world, we found one of the best five blocks from home in Melrose Park, Ill.”
