Red Deer’s Parker Thompson looking for strong finish to the Indy Pro 2000 season

From Parker Thompson Racing
With two events remaining in the 2019 Indy Pro 2000 by Cooper Tires Championship, Parker Thompson is focused on making a big impact. The Road to Indy veteran started the season in the best possible way, winning the opening two races with rookie team Abel Motorsports. Thompson has since become familiar with adversity. With Abel Motorsports, he has placed on the podium in six of twelve races, but struggles in other racesĀ putĀ the teamĀ on its back foot entering the Oval Challenge of St. Louis this weekend.Ā Ā A strong finish was critical to maintaining Thompsonās contention for the overall championship.
After a near miss in qualifying, the young CanadianĀ started the race from ninth position. He would work his way up to sixth place before the checkered flag fell, but failed to gain any groundĀ on other top Championship contenders. With four races remaining,Ā and a 64-point deficit to the leader, Lindh, Thompson knows that there is little room for error.
Parker Thompson
“On these oval tracks where there is a short 2-lapĀ qualifying stint, we’ve got a smallĀ window to earn a good starting position. Unfortunately, I had a near miss with the wall on one of my laps that cost us a lot of time. After starting near the back of the field, we are satisfied to at least move up to sixth. That said, with two events remaining, you can bet that we are looking for a strong finish to the season. Our team knows that we can run at the front of the field on the road courses. We are not going to let the season end without a big fight.ā
