Scott Tucker has built his career on a deep passion for motorsports, a heavy dose of remarkable talent, a calculated driver roster and the help of some spending money from earlier in his life. Driver and owner of Level 5 Motorsports, Tucker began racing in 2006 at age 44, and most recently won his third consecutive Sports Car Club of America National Championship Runoffs, an historical finish at a race he’s entered since his first year of professional racing. Although Tucker has now established himself as an elite race car driver in one of the most prolific racing organizations in the world, his career began in a Ferrari.

Three years after Tucker began his professional racing career, he set a record for the most wins in the Ferrari Challenge Series, nabbing 10 victories in 2009. Tucker again made history last weekend when he won his third consecutive SCCA Runoffs -this time in a Porsche 966 Twin-Turbo-but just three years earlier, he and racing partner Ed Zabinski made history when they placed in the top three of the 2008 T1 Runoffs, a year before Tucker himself began his historical tear on the Runoffs circuit.

At the time, Tucker was a relative newcomer to the motorsports scene, and he joined Zabinski on the Ferrari Challenge circuit. Tucker has relied on more experienced racers who can gain driving points while still providing him the opportunity to gain experience on the track, and Zabinski did just that, winning first place at the 2008 Runoffs while Tucker finished third.

Zabinski began in a second-place starting position and quickly put pressure on the first place racer, Andrew Aquilante. Zabinski tailed Aquilante in his No. 77 Level 5 Motorsports Ferrari 360 Modena for the next 13 laps. Several times, his Ferrari pulled side-by-side with Aquilante’s No. 36 Hosier/Phoenix Perf/Hawk Chevrolet Corvette.

As the two fought neck-and-neck until Lap 15, Aquilante happened upon a mistake that allowed Zabinski the chance to pass. A full-course yellow had come upon the track on the penultimate lap of the entire competition, and Aquilante hit the brakes hard. Zabinski headed the other way as Aquilante hit another car and wrecked. Zabinski clinched the first-place win, as Tucker pulled his No. 55 Level 5 Motorsports Ferrari 360 Modena into third place, just behind John Buttermore of Pontiac, Mich.-who, incidentally, Tucker would finally beat in 2009 for his three-win streak.

Zabinski’s win at the 2008 Runoffs was the first top three win for Ferrari-that is, the first two top three wins for Ferrari, with Tucker’s third-place finish. A year later, Tucker would begin an historic effort in the series. Tucker and Zabinski continued competing under the brand new Level 5 Motorsports team, finishing 28th in the Porsche GT3 class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona; 8th place at Iowa Speedway; and races at Homestead-Miami Speedway and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec.

Just a year later, Tucker joined up with Christophe Bouchut and began a speedy journey to the top of motorsports competition. Although he’s now entered in five series, including with brand new Le Mans Prototypes, the Ferrari Challenge series has always been on Tucker’s schedule, remaining as the first races he was entered in. And, after this past weekend, the Ferrari Challenge series is one in which Tucker has made an inimitable mark.

September 30th, 2011 – Scott Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports teammates recently began the final quarter of a racing year that has included numerous podium appearances, multiple car changes, incredible accomplishments and yet still room for improvement. Tucker, owner and driver for Level 5, has been a leader for the team despite the rookie status he maintained merely months ago. His tight, balanced driving has earned him top honors in the American Le Mans Series as Rookie of the Year and Champion Driver in 2010. His races often end with stints on the podium, and his career has only just begun.

As Tucker, his co-drivers Christophe Bouchut and Luis Diaz and team manager David Stone prepare to close the calendar year with the all-important Petit Le Mans and the Ferrari International Finals, the stakes are high-the team has woven itself a reputation of excellence that is best understood by looking back at what has made 2011 a stunning year for Level 5 Motorsports.

The Scott Tucker-owned Level 5 Motorsports team had undergone 24-hour races before, but the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup 24 Hours of Le Mans race brought the stiffest competition from around the world, completely changing the face of endurance competitions compared to what Level 5 was used to in the American Le Mans Series.

Level 5 made its 24 Hours of Le Mans debut much like it had appeared up to that point in the season: remarkably well. Even with the challenge of new cars or races they’ve never before encountered, the Level 5 team has made podium race after race in seemingly easy fashion.

Tucker, Christophe Bouchut and Joao Barbosa drove the No. 33 Microsoft-sponsored Lola Honda coupe in their new LMP2 category. A seamless race ended with a third place finish and 10th place overall. How does a relatively new team that has never competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans stay cool in the face of the toughest competition in the world and manage to pull off podium? It’s the trademark of Level 5 Motorsports-careful, skillful driving mixed with steely determination and an unrelenting focus on a wining finish.

The team, managed by David Stone, was the only American prototype in the 56-car field. Earlier in the week, the Level 5 team sacrificed track time due to a fuel leak. Despite small gains on the track during qualifying leading up to the race, the team started dead last in the LMP2 lineup. The consistency Level 5 is known for delivering worked to its benefit-after competitors faced trouble, the Lola Honda held strong and was cruising steadily at third place by morning, less than four laps behind the leader.

Not that Level 5 didn’t have its own setbacks-but the tight teamwork and the drivers’ ability to prevent any problems from disrupting their internal focus made the teams two hiccups seem minor in the grand scheme of things. Barbosa spun into the gravel trap about halfway through the race, and three hours from the finish, the car received a realignment and rear deck change.

A day after its debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Level 5 Motorsports nabbed the checkered flag. The win was monumental for the team and for Tucker-he had now made podium in all four of the major sports car endurance races in the world, and in front of 250,000 spectators to boot.

“Any time additions we face were not the fault of the car or the engine,” said Tucker. “This team worked hard, and we accomplished something great today.”

Tucker and his Level 5 team hit the road in hopes of continuing their all but total domination of all three of its series. They would next face the Six Hours of Imola in the next round of the ILMC.

Level 5 Motorsports owner-driver Scott Tucker made history this weekend at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs. First past the checkered flag, he nabbed his third consecutive SCCA title, an accomplishment a few other drivers can claim. The hat trick of victories began three years ago, when Tucker’s career was just 3 years old.

In 2009, the Runoffs classic was held for the first time in Elkhart Lake, Wisc., its sixth location since it began. The location was close to Level 5 Motorsports’ home base in Madison, Wisc. The team, which Tucker founded in 2008, was still young but had enjoyed some good success already in the 2009 season. Tucker competed and won in the Hawk Performance Touring 1 race.

His No. 55 Ferrari 430 Challenge had the pole position to start, and he led the T1 field through turn one. In turn two, he lost the leading position to competitor John Buttermore, of Pontiac, Mich., who eventually would make podium behind Tucker. Tucker was hot on the tail of Buttermore’s Nearbrook Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette, keeping his second place status even with pressure from behind in driver Lance Knupp of Fenton, Mich., the third driver to eventually reach the podium that day.

The top three drivers fought it out throughout the race. Tucker followed Buttermore closely, waiting for an opportunity to overtake him. In turn five, Buttermore’s mistake became Tucker’s window, and Tucker passed him to regain the lead in lap four, just before turn six.

Tucker didn’t look back for the remainder of the 13-lap, 52-mile race. By the time he crossed the checkered flag, Tucker had sped to a 1.42-second lead for the first place finish in his first Runoffs appearance. In the process, he recorded the fastest lap of the race, with a 2:22.000 lap during the competition.

“Both Buttermore and Knupp were formidable competitors for the duration of the race,” Tucker said. “I was caught sleeping for a second there, when Buttermore overtook me, but he got a little wide in turn five, and I was able to take advantage of that. It really could have been anyone’s podium today; both of those guys put up strong, consistent races. I had to be continuously focused because I knew if I made a mistake, either one of them would be right there to pick it up.”

Not long after Tucker overtook Buttermore, the Chevrolet lost stability due to braking, which allowed Knupp’s No. 37 Dodge Viper to work into the second-place spot. Even as Buttermore decelerated the pace, he still pulled off the third-place podium finish.

In 2009, Tucker was still in the midst of proving himself an elite driver in just his third year of professional racing. His decisive victory at the Runoffs, considered one of the best sports car races in the world, added to his growing list of victories in 2009. Going into the 2011 Runoffs, Tucker was a different driver; he had not only two Runoffs wins under his belt, but a variety of other first-place and podium finishes from five different racing series. The 2009 SCCA Runoffs at Elkhart Lake, Wisc., were the start of two years of explosive success for Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports team.

Scott Tucker, Luis Diaz, Joao Barbosa and Marino Franchitti will be behind the wheel of Level 5 Motorsports’ new HPD ARX-01g this weekend at Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Franchitti rounds out a team of experienced, elite racing veterans vying for the LMP2 class championship victory.

Franchitti is the latest addition to Tucker’s superteam of motorsports competitors, which has been established throughout the Level 5 Motorsports team’s three years of existence. Franchitti will be especially handy in driving the new Level 5 entry, a LMP2-class Honda Performance Development prototype developed in conjunction with Wirth Research. Prior to joining Level 5, Franchitti had raced essentially every iteration of HPD prototypes, including the original ARX-01a with Andretti Green Racing in 2007 and Highcroft’s 2010 ALMS championship winner ARX-01c as well as its ARX-01e, which took second place overall at the 12 Hours of Sebring earlier this year. Franchitti this year will be seeking his third consecutive Petit Le Mans class victory.

The elite Level 5 team began when Tucker entered the world of professional motorsports in 2006 at age 44. What he lacked in experience he made up for in raw talent, quickly ascending the motorsports rankings. Early on, he joined up with Christophe Bouchut, an endurance racing veteran, who acted as his mentor and co-driver. Bouchut is one of the most successful endurance drivers in the world and a past winner of the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. He has also won three Porsche Carrera Cup France championships, three FIA GT titles and an FFSA GT championship. He is the only triple FIA GT champion in history. Since the Level 5 Motorsports team began in 2008, Bouchut has co-driven with Tucker and been integral in the team’s success. With his wealth of experience and skill in controlled speed, Bouchut’s role as lead driver has allowed Tucker to develop his own skills, adding to the depth of the Level 5 racing team. During the 2010 season, Bouchut earned his 100th career victory.

Joao Barbosa, another Level 5 Motorsports standout began his racing career in his native Porto, Portugal nearly 30 years ago. He won back-to-back kart championships in 1988-1989 and went on to win the Portuguese Formula Ford championship in 1994 and the Italian Formula Alfa Boxter Championship in 1995. In 2001, he joined the Grand-Am Sports Car Series and competed in the GT class until he joined the Brumos Racing team in a Daytona prototype in 2006. After four seasons there, he joined Action Express Racing and won the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2010. In 2010, he also made seven starts in the ALMS for Extreme Speed Motorsports in the GT2 class.

Luis Diaz, the third part to this weekend’s Petit Le Mans bid, hails from Mexico City, Mexico. He ran in the Toyota Atlantic and Indy Lights Series from 1999-2003 before making the move to Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series in 2004 when he co-drove the No. 1 car with former Champ Car competitor Scott Pruett for Chip Ganassi Racing. In 2007, he moved into the ALMS, driving an LMP2 Lola B06/43-Acura for Fernandez Racing. The pairing finished sixth in the LMP2 standings that year and won the class championship in 2009. Diaz made his Level 5 debut this year at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, a successful start to the season, and his LMP2 experience will be invaluable at Petit Le Mans with the new car.

Ryan Hunter-Reay has been off the grid for much of the 2011 season as Tucker and crew have been focused on the ALMS and LMP2 class, but he has been a major contributor to the Level 5 team’s overall success. He is a regular in the IZOD IndyCar Series for Andretti Autosport, where he nabbed his second victory at Iowa Speedway last year. Hunter-Reay helped the No. 95 Level 5 Motorsports BMW Riley to a third-place finish in the 2010 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Frbiz.com, one of China’s leading B2B industry websites, analyzes beef development situation.

With the improvement of economic level, beef consumption gradually coming into people’s life. Data shows that the recent 15 years, beef consumption in China has been growing rapidly. In 1980, the per capita consumption of beef is 0.5 kg; to 2008 it has reached 5 kg. China’s beef demand market is vast, beef industry has enormous development space and potential, but the recent 10 years national beef grow slowly. In 2008 China produced 7.9 million tons of beef, cattle breeding stock keep unchanged in 15 years, the beef gap becomes more and more large.

In addition to lack of volume, the greater problem is the quality. Korean beef and Japanese beef, per kg up to 900 RMB, or higher price, which price is several times than majority of domestic beef. The basic reason is that Japan and South Korea central finance invested large money for their own national cattle breeding and industrial development, so that Korean cattle, and Japanese cattle famous in world.

While the other hand, the domestic beef market, China’s 54 kinds of cattle breeds resource materials preservation volume ranks first in the world, but the cattle resources have not been fully studied, the overall level of breeding technology lagged behind the leading countries in 40 years to 60 years.

In China, cattle and cow industry started at the same time, but the cattle industry’s technology research and development capabilities and the pace of development have lagged behind in the cow industry. As lack of national strategic layout, beef industry is displaying the characteristics of scattered and weak, which led to the cultivation of new varieties, could not focus on the formation of the power and input.

To sum up, China’s own high quality cattle breeds whether could eventually formed into an industrial scale, which need to overcome many challenges.
