Driver Quote:
“This will be my first race in Edmonton and it should be a very interesting race because we race at an airport.  I have been talking to many of the other drivers and they told me that this track is very similar to a street course so it shouldn’t be a big change.  It will be very important for me to make the track walk with the team and see all the details that can be helpful for the setting of the car before the first practice session on Friday.  It is also important for me and everybody on the team to learn the track as fast as possible because we may need extra time to tune the car accordingly.  All in all I am looking forward to a new adventure this weekend in Edmonton”

Toronto, Ontario – July 7, 2012 -  Jeffrey Mark Motorsport took their talents to The Great White North for the Honda Indy Streets of Toronto.  Juan Pablo Garcia had a great car going into the 50-lap event but was only able to complete 30 laps due to contact with another car.

Coming around turn three, the number five car of Jorge Goncalvez bumped the rear of JP’s car sending them both spinning.  The Jeffrey Mark Motorsport ride spun around before sending the tail end into the wall.  No drivers were injured but neither car was able to finish the race.

Juan Pablo was glad to be back on the street course but not pleased with the finish.

“The race ended a lot earlier than I was expecting,” Juan Pablo commented.  “I am not very happy with the race results.  The car felt great and the Jeffrey Mark Motorsport crew made a lot of improvements over the weekend.  I was excited to get the car out on the track this afternoon.  The race started good, we were keeping up to speed with the rest of the grid, the accident just came at a really bad time.  I know Edmonton will go much better.”

“The car is really good right now so hopefully we can use the positive momentum we gained this weekend and carry it over to Edmonton with us,” JP continued.  “I am really looking forward to finishing the season strong so we can build up more championship points.  Being Jeffrey Mark Motorsport’s first year I really want to give them a good Championship placement at the end of the Firestone Indy Lights Season.”

The Indy Lights grid will continue their Canadian journey with a race in Edmonton on Saturday July 21st.

Newton, IA – June 24, 2012 – The night ended early for the #76 Jeffrey Mark Motorsport car as engine issues forced Juan Pablo Garcia into the pits.  IndyCar officials called him into pit lane after noticing a distorted sound coming from the #76 car.  The car was checked and released before being called in for good at lap 71 of 115.

Rain delays forced the Firestone Indy Lights Sukup 100 to start after the Izod IndyCar Series event.  Once the green flag dropped around midnight,  Juan Pablo Garcia and the whole Indy Lights grid ran a fairly clean race with only minor issues.  This occasion marks Garcia’s first DNF of the season.

“There is not too much I can say about this race,” noted Garcia.  “It was an engine failure and out of my control. The beginning of the race was good but once the engine started to slow down it was really hard to maintain the speed.  The car felt very tough and it was difficult to go flat everywhere.  It was not a really good race for me and I am really sad about that but I know we will bounce back in Toronto.  The Jeffrey Mark Motorsport crew worked super hard this weekend and I really wish we could have finished the race.  Special thanks to Jeffrey Mark and Bryan Herta for all the support they have shown me this season.  I am looking forward to finishing out the season strong.”

Firestone Indy Lights will take the weekend off before heading up to Canada for the Honda Indy Toronto on Saturday July 7th with the green flag set for 4pm ET.

Driver Quote:
“I am looking forward to another oval race.  With each oval I learn a little more and become more confident in the car.  I have never raced at the Iowa Speedway so I am really looking forward to the new experience when we head out for practice on Friday.  This is also my first night race, which will be very fun and add a new element to the course.  After completing all 100 laps in Milwaukee, I gained a lot of confidence and I am ready to tackle the weekend.  I know this oval is very different than what I am used to but that’s what makes the sport of racing so exciting.  It will be an awesome weekend for Jeffrey Mark Motorsport.”

WEST ALLIS –  It was a successful day for Jeffrey Mark Motorsport as the #76 car completed its first Milwaukee Mile.  The day started early in the morning with two practices and a qualification run before the evening race began.

The venue was packed with fans as the sun beamed down on the exciting event.  Ending the day in P11, Driver Juan Pablo Garcia had this to say about his Milwaukee debut.

“It was a fun day and I was much more confident driving but there is still a lot to improve on,” Garcia commented.  “The car was fast and felt great; it also helped that the race was mostly green.  The Milwaukee Mile is a very exciting and historic track.   I was happy with the race but there is still a lot of work to do in order to prepare for next weekend.  As always, the whole Jeffrey Mark Motorsport crew did a great job.  I am ready to back in the car in Iowa next week.”

The Firestone Indy Lights crew will now look towards the Iowa Speedway for the Sukup 100 taking place on Saturday June 23.  For more information visit JeffreyMarkMotorsport.com.
