Graham Trucking Renews 5 Jimmy Shane

Graham Trucking has renewed its title sponsorship of Ted Porter’s No. 5 unlimited hydroplane for the 2013 H1 Unlimited season, Porter announced today.

“We couldn’t be happier with Graham Trucking’s continued support of our team,” Porter said. “Rob has been very supportive of us, and he is really proud to be the title sponsor of the two-time defending world champion.”

 With the team’s primary race hull back from Doha, U-5 Racing is getting started on preparations for the first race of the season on domestic turf. The 2013 season officially opened in mid-February with the Oryx Cup UIM World Championship in Doha, Qatar.

Jimmy Shane also continues the cockpit as the team’s driver.   

“For a guy who was driving his first full season as a driver in H1, he had a pretty good season,” Porter said. “We’re very happy with Jimmy, and are proud of the accomplishments he and the team achieved. Winning three races, including two world championships, and finishing second in the national points chase in his first year is remarkable.   

“Everyone who’s a part of our team is very excited about the last seven races of the 2013 season,” Porter added.

The domestic portion of the 2013 H1 season begins with Big Wake Weekend in on Folsom Lake east of Sacramento, Calif., May 31-June 2. The Graham Trucking hydro will arrive in Sacramento just 130 points behind the series points leader after one race.
