Team’s Mazda Road to Indy pilots ready for first speedway event of the season

Scott Hargrove is on a roll. Just one week after claiming his first two wins in the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires at the Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Indianapolis, the 19-year-old Canadian traveled north of the border to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park where he underscored both his talent and his versatility during a sensational sports car debut by winning the opening two rounds of the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada. Hargrove’s regular rival in the Pro Mazda open-wheel ranks, Spencer Pigot, also played a starring role by leading Saturday’s race and finishing third in Race Two on Sunday.

Racing at Indianapolis is always special, even more so for Michael Johnson who last weekend competed at the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time after testing there several times in the past.

Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing had a near perfect weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires' Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Indianapolis. The team left the famed track with two wins and two podium finishes.

When JDC MotorSports headed into the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, it did so with a tent full of drivers who were new to the program. The team’s focus was to develop these young drivers quickly, giving them ample opportunity to learn a new racecar, its performance and its mechanical dynamics. Over the first two events on the schedule, JDC drivers Ryan Booth, Kyle Connery and Michael Johnson did exactly that, scoring solid finishes while they came to grips with their Pro Mazda race cars.
