JDX Racing Overcomes Setbacks at VIR

HEADLINES:
Jeff Kingsley Has Bizarre Mechanical Failure in Race #1;Â Returns to Form for Race #2
Sean McAlister Get His First Taste of VIR and VIR Bites Back
WEEKEND SCOOP:
Kingsley Gains 16 Positions in Race #2 to finish 5th in the #3 Hertz/Byers PorscheÂ
McAlister Rebounds After Crash Earlier in the Week, Claiming a Top 7 Finish in Race #2
JEFF KINGSLEY:
"My JDX team did a great job all weekend and stayed positive despite the setbacks. We’re really looking forward to Laguna Seca in a few weeks."
SEAN McALISTER:
"In Race #1, I had an early spin which put me back in the field but I was able to carve my way through some of the slower guys and was very happy with the result. Sunday’s Race #2 was frustrating as I got stuck behind a bunch of slower cars and struggled to get through them as they weren’t all competent drivers, but I gained five spots and finished seventh so I was very satisfied with the weekend overall."
JEREMY DALE, MANAGING PARTNER/JDX RACING: "On balance, VIR was frustrating but ultimately productive. Sean’s off-track excursion on Thursday interrupted his practice time and lead to some frustrations in practice and qualifying. Worse than all that was the bizarre mechanical failure that kept Jeff from taking the green flag in Race #1. That missed race really hurt Jeff’s championship points, but he’s still third, just further back from second place. Sean and Jeff both had a very solid Race #2. Sean had great pace and drove exceptionally well moving up multiple spots. Jeff started 21st and drove through the field to end up finishing 5th."
"When I left the track Saturday night, I felt like VIR had had really kicked our butts. By the end of Sunday’s Race #2, I was excited and looking forward to coming back next year."Â
