Th
LOUDON, N.H. (June 7, 2011) -New Hampshire Motor Speedway experienced its
fastest laps of 2011 today, when Firestone Indy Lights Team Moore Racing tested
for the upcoming race on Aug. 14.
Victor Garcia and Gustavo Yacaman zipped around "The Magic Mile" for
the first time in their racing careers, at speeds of up to 170 mph and liked
what they saw.
Yacaman, a native of Colombia pilots the No. 2 Team Moore TMR XTREME Coil
Drilling car, who boasts seven top-fives and 15 top-10 finishes in his Firestone
Indy Lights career, shared his thoughts on NHMS.
"It's a different track than the tracks we have been to. The good thing is
that it is really warm today so it's similar to what we will face in August. I
am really happy about the day so far and I think we're getting close to
top-speed," he said.
Madrid, Spain native Victor Garcia also tested his No. 22 Team Moore TMR XTREME
Coil Drilling car at "The Magic Mile." He recently took home the
checkered flag at Barber Motorsports Park and currently sits third in the
Firestone Indy Lights championship standings and is extremely excited to return
to the 1.058-mile oval in August.
"The test has been really good so far. I have to say the track, I am really
amazed with. I have been on four other ovals, but this one I like the most. It's
almost flat out but not all the way flat out. After testing here, this has been
the best oval I have been to."
Both drivers will return to NHMS for the Firestone Indy Lights 100 race on
Sunday, Aug. 14. For tickets to this and all other major events at New England's
largest sports and entertainment facility including the LENOX Industrial Tools
