PARKER THOMPSON:
“Lots of positives here at Road America; Our first pole position in the series and a big win in Race 1! We would have loved to pair that with another win in Race 2, but the track conditions didn’t quite work as we planned. Nevertheless, we took a big step forward in the championship points and ultimately, thats what it’s all about! With just four races remaining in the season, everyone on the JDX Racing team can feel our goal is within reach. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is next and we expect to have another race weekend like this one!”
JEREMY DALE, MANAGING PARTNER/JDX RACING:
“Road America was a great weekend for us – that’s the only way you can describe it. I’m a bit frustrated because we made a small technical error that we feel cost us the race win on Sunday, but that’s not something to dwell on. Parker scored two poles, one win and the fastest race lap. We closed the points battle down to just 16 points. That’s a great weekend, plain and simple. Next up is Indy, where we performed very well last year and I expect we’ll do the same this year. The entire team is excited to continue our pursuit of the championship in 2022.”
