After a two day private test at NOLA Motorsports Park in New Orleans last week, paralyzed racer Michael Johnson headed to Barber Motorsport Park for the third annual Chris Griffis Memorial Mazda Road to Indy Test.

Rising Star Racing officials announced its inaugural class of drivers on Thursday at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in Indianapolis as Josef Newgarden, 22 of Hendersonville, Tenn., Neil Alberico, 21 of Los Gatos, Calif., and Spencer Pigot, 20, of Orlando, Fla., have been selected to represent Rising Star Racing beginning with the upcoming 2014 racing season.

Juncos Racing’s strong performance this week at Barber Motorsports Park showed they are ready for a promising 2014 season in the Pro Mazda Championship presented by Cooper Tires.

Judging by the results of the past two days at the Chris Griffis Memorial Mazda Road to Indy Test, the future looks extremely bright for the rejuvenated Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires. A different driver topped the timing charts in each of the four sessions at Barber Motorsports Park.

The timing charts might not reflect it but Team Pelfrey has completed a productive two-day Chris Griffis Memorial Road to Indy Test at Barber Motorsports Park.
