BROWNSBURG, Ind. – Australian driver Jordan Lloyd finished fifth and sixth in the JCR #94 Mazda powered entry in two Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda races at NOLA Motorsports Park in ever changing conditions. Starting fourth in race one, Lloyd lost one position to finish fifth. In a very wet race two, Lloyd started fifth and finished sixth alongside teammate Anthony Martin after a late slid off. “I was still working on understanding how hard I could push the Cooper slick tires in the first race. Race two was really tough to see and there was lots of standing water to deal with, the Cooper rain tires worked great for me. I would really like to thank the team for giving me a great car all weekend,” said Lloyd.
Fellow Australian Anthony Martin finished sixth and fifth in the BLA Burgess #33 Mazda powered entry at NOLA. Starting fifth and running fifth on the last lap restart, Martin was hit from behind and knocked out of contention. Starting 10th in wet conditions, Martin charged to as high as fourth in race two until a late spin put him back into fifth just ahead of teammate Lloyd. Martin won the Tilton Hard Charger award for his efforts. “We are working hard to close the gap to the second year drivers. I’m feeling more comfortable every time I drive the car. The team did a great job fixing the car after the race one incident and I learned more on the Cooper wet tires in a tough race two. I really want to thank the folks at Burgess for helping me out so much,” said Martin.
JCR now moves to the next round at Barber Motorsports Park, April 24-26 as a single car team with Anthony Martin set to pilot the #33 entry for the team.
