After a successful podium-winning weekend at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, 17-year-old Texan Parker Chase will be joined by Ryan Dalziel at the famed Virginia International Raceway. Piloting the #19 Vertical Bridge / New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau / ProBalance Protein Water / Music Movement Audi R8 GT3 LMS, the duo will enter the Pirelli World Challenge SprintX Pro/Am division in their hunt for the top step of the podium.
“I am excited to get back in the car with Ryan,” expressed Chase. “We have a lot of fun on race weekends, but it is all business when it comes down to on track action and results. We supported one another in our podium results in Long Beach so it will be good to share the wheel with him again this weekend.”
In the most recent PWC SprintX event, Chase and Dalziel captured a third-place podium result in the second race of the weekend at the prestigious Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Chase also scored a GTA podium finish at the season opener at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg as well as another one at the famed Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach two weekends ago. Looking to continue his podium streak, the duo will get down to business on Thursday with their TruSpeed AutoSport program during the unofficial Promoters Test Day.
Chase continued, “TruSpeed Autosport brings a ton of support on the weekends and they are a big part of why Ryan and I are able to perform well. Combine that with the support from all of our marketing partners and we have a team that can challenge for the race win at every event.”
With the Promoters Test Day set to take place on Thursday, two official practice sessions will commence Friday before qualifying and race one on Saturday with race two of the weekend taking place on Sunday. Parker Chase will also launch a social media contest in conjunction with VIR event this coming weekend. Please follow Parker Chase on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for details on how to participate.
Parker Chase would like to thank his marketing partners for their continued support. A big thank you to Vertical Bridge, ProBalance Protein Water, New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau, Sparco, Audi Sport, TruSpeed AutoSport, Ironclad Performance Wear, Justice Brothers, Music Movement and RTD Media & Management.
