FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Monterey, CA (September 9, 2022) – Abel Motorsports along with their two drivers, Jacob Abel, and Flinn Lazier are ready to tackle the last race weekend of the 2022 Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
Heading into the weekend 8th in points, series rookie, Jacob Abel, will be riding the wave of momentum gained from his best Indy Lights result to date of 4th at Portland. Abel has tested at Laguna Seca earlier in the year and felt very confident in the setup that he and the team worked on.
“I can’t wait to get to California and Laguna Seca. I love racing at Laguna, and especially knowing how well our test went earlier in the year. I really think we have a competitive car and it’s on me to get to the front. Portland was great for us, and the result showed that we can be fighting for podiums and that is the goal this weekend,” said Jacob Abel.
Flinn Lazier did not have the Indy Lights debut he had hoped for when his race was cut short due to contact on the opening lap. Lazier did however get great seat time in his No. 15 that he is hoping to capitalize on at Laguna Seca.
“I’m really excited to get back in the car this weekend. This is a track that everyone dreams of driving and has certainly been one on my list, so I’m just really excited to get the opportunity to compete here. Although we didn’t end up with the result, we wanted last weekend I think the team and I got a lot of work done and I’m looking forward to building on that,” said Flinn Lazier.
The final race weekend of the 2022 Indy Lights season at the historic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca gets underway on Friday September 9th with practice. Qualifying and race 1 will be held on Saturday September 10th with the green flag flying on race 1 at 12:25pm PT. The final race of the season goes green on Sunday September 11th at 10:00am PT.
