(May 2, 2013) Jessup, MD – TPC Racing is proud to announce that it has signed a new partnership with Porsche of Towson. TPC Racing is very excited to have local Porsche dealer, Porsche of Towson on board for the 2013 race season and beyond. Being that Porsche of Towson is close to the TPC Racing headquarters, this is a very exciting partnership that will allow for great synergy and mutual exposure using the TPC Racing / Porsche of Towson GT3 Cup cars.

“I am beyond thrilled to have Porsche of Towson on board for the 2013 race season,” stated TPC Racing team owner and driver Michael Levitas. “I have always loved the idea of having a Porsche dealership involved in our racing program, but we have never been able to involve or explain to a local franchise owner that there is a connection between racing Porsche and selling Porsche. Marc Cohen, owner of Porsche of Towson personally got involved and was perhaps more excited than I was, he totally gets it!! Porsche of Towson and TPC Racing are a natural connection. ”

In our initial meeting Marc was quoted as saying, “Porsche cars are uniquely different than all others makes. The owners and buyers are extremely passionate about Porsche cars and so is our entire staff here at Porsche of Towson. What better way is there to extend that passion than to build a racing program right here at Porsche of Towson “

"Being that Porsche of Towson is close to our TPC Racing headquarters, it allows for us to use our GT3 Cup cars for various events with both TPC Racing and Porsche of Towson name on the cars," said Levitas. "When the opportunity came about to join forces with Porsche of Towson, I could not have been more excited. The staff at Porsche of Towson is top notch and is very excited about TPC’s racing dedication. We welcome Porsche of Towson to our team and look forward to an amazing 2013 season.”
