Team Pelfrey Indy Lights to Test Parker Thompson at Chris Griffis Memorial Test
As a sponsor, we’re always super excited to hear each new development in Red Deer’ driver Parker Thompson’s racing career. So we’re over the moon about Team Pelfrey choosing to test Parker at the Chris Griffis Memorial Test this weekend.
Many of you have seen the announcements today! I couldn’t be more excited to get my shot in @IndyLights this weekend with @TeamPelfrey at the Chris Griffis Memorial Test. I am very eager to get to work with the crew. Time to keep my right foot down in the #Bumblebee!! pic.twitter.com/Jo6sB9JQLd

“I have been dreaming about the chance to get behind the wheel of an Indy Lights car since I started my car racing career” said an enthusiastic Thompson. “This is definitely one I am proud to check off the bucket list!” Parker Thompson.
Parker Thompson finished 2nd in points in the 2018 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires with 3 wins. He’s had multiple wins on the Mazda Road to Indy over the past 2 seasons and now has his wheels aimed at the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires Series. Hard to believe that Parker is just 20 years old.
