Birmingham, Ala. – Spencer Pigot clearly has a taste for victory at Barber Motorsports Park. One year ago he won both rounds of the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires at the scenic 2.3-mile road course in rural Alabama. This weekend, after stepping up to Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires with his Juncos Racing team by virtue of a Pro Mazda Championship title and a MAZDASPEED scholarship, Pigot repeated the feat as he dominated both races that comprised the Legacy Indy Lights 100.   Englishman Jack Harvey, whoRead More
Birmingham, Ala. – Spencer Pigot was flawless in today’s Legacy Indy Lights 100, Round Five of Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires. The 21-year-old from Orlando, Fla., started from the pole in just his fourth Indy Lights start, took the lead at the green flag and pulled away to a clear victory for Juncos Racing. Last year’s championship runner-up, Jack Harvey (Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian), from Lincoln, England, couldn’t keep pace with the American and finished a full 6.7109 seconds in arrears after 30 laps around the challenging 2.3-mile,Read More

Jones, Carlin Power to Indy Lights Win in Debut

St. Petersburg, Fla.  – The changing of the guard in Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires was readily apparent in the first of two races that will comprise this weekend’s Mazda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Presented by Peninsula Pipeline.

In this case it was Englishman Ed Jones and European powerhouse open-wheel teamRead More
