Victories in every series of competition as two new drivers join VRD this weekend
DAWSONVILLE, Ga. – VRD Racing continues to turn heads in North American motorsports, and this weekend will be on track in Elkhart Lake, Wis., as the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship takes to the 4.014-mile, 14-turn Road America venue as part of the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires.
“It has been a winning few weeks for VRD, and we do not intend on slowing down,” explained team principal Dan Mitchell. “In the past 30 days we have won three USF2000 races, three USF Junior races and three F4 races along with several podium results. It has been great, but we want to continue our streak this weekend at Road America.”
VRD Racing kicked off its winning ways back at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the GMR Grand Prix of Indianapolis, where Alex Quinn had a perfect weekend by taking home three victories - the first three for VRD Racing in USF2000 competition. Two weeks later, the VRD contingent took on Road America and the F4 United States Championship Powered by Honda where two different drivers stood atop the podium. Showing the true strength of their efforts, all three VRD Racing drivers in F4 have made the climb to the top step in 2022.
The team continued its dominance in last weekend's USF Juniors Ptresented by Cooper Tires event at Virginia International Raceway, where VRD Racing won all three races and swept the podium in the final race of the weekend.
VRD's regular USF2000 driver Viktor Andersson will be joined this weekend will be newcomers Nikita Johnson and Nicholas d’Orlando.
“We have another big weekend this weekend and have three drivers that will battle in USF2000," said Mitchell. "We have big expectations for Nikita, and we look to build a solid foundation for Nicholas for the remainder of 2022 and onwards into the future. Viktor has been with us all year, but with three drivers in the same class this weekend, we are focused on improvements and front-of-the-field results for the trio.”
