Mooresville, NC - Konica Minolta and race car driver
Leilani Münter have joined forces for the 2006 NASCAR
Elite Division Southeast Series Championship. Münter
will also be running for the 2006 Rookie of the Year honors.
"I am honored to be a part of the Konica Minolta family,"
said Münter, "They are a first class company and
they make top quality products. I am proud to carry their
colors as I race for the NASCAR Southeast Series Championship.
2006 is going to be an exciting year for me and I will be
documenting my adventures with my Konica Minolta digital camera."
“Not only myself but everyone at Konica Minolta is excited
to be part of the Leilani race team,” said Paul Zakrzewski,
Director of Product Management for Konica Minolta Photo Imaging
U.S.A., Inc.
“Racing has always been part of the American spirit
and now it has come into the fold of mainstream sports. The
excitement it creates around each event makes it unlike any
other sport for photography. The colors, drama and the excitement
that unfolds make it an irresistible to the professional and
amateur photographer alike.
Leilani brings a great deal of excitement to the sport and
we are glad to be a part of it.”
Munter began racing stock cars in 2001 on circuits throughout
the USA. She set the record for the highest qualifying effort
for a female stock car driver at Texas Motor Speedway when
she started 4th and finished 7th in her debut in the ROMCO
Super Late Model Series in 2004. Munter is also a special
correspondent for NASCAR.com and a professional driving instructor
at the Fast Track High Performance Driving School based at
