Riding a wave of momentum and scoring three victories to date in 2018, 17-year-old Parker Chase will join Ryan Dalziel this coming weekend in Portland. Taking on the Portland International Raceway and the Rose Cup Races featuring the Pirelli World Challenge, the talented duo will look to put the #19 Vertical Bridge / New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau / ProBalance Protein Water / Music Movement / eRaceAutism.com Audi R8 GT3 LMS in victory lane a fourth time this season.
“I am really looking forward to getting on track this weekend,” expressed Chase. “I drove the Portland International Raceway just a couple weeks ago and I really enjoyed the track. I think it’s going to suit our car very well and we should be very competitive. Hopefully Ryan and I can capitalize and continue our success from the last three weekends and bring home some more hardware.”
“The Vertical Bridge Audi R8 should be strong in Portland,” added Ryan Dalziel. “Parker has been on a roll recently with another win at the last race so I am confident we can keep his winning streak alive. I haven't raced at Portland since 2005 but it’s a track and a city I really enjoy so I'm ready to get the weekend started and to stretch out the GT Sprint X points lead.”
Located in Portland Oregon, the 12-corner, 1.967-mile facility is a favorite amongst drivers and will be the home of Chase and Dalziel this coming weekend. Kicking off practice on Friday, qualifying and the first wheel-to-wheel action of the weekend will take place Saturday before race #2 commences on Sunday afternoon.
Parker Chase and Ryan Dalziel would like to thank their 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, Mothers Polish, Music Movement and RTD Media & Management.
