TROIS-RIVIERES, QUE. (August 6, 2012)- Last weekend in the streets of Trois-Rivieres, TrueCar Racing driver Ashley Freiberg (pronounced FRY-BURG) scored a 12th and a ninth place finish in rounds eleven and twelve in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear.
“It was a tough weekend, but I am happy coming out of it with a top 10 finish,” said the 20-year-old from Vermont. “Both my practice and qualifying sessions were affected by mechanical issues, and we were chasing car handling quite a bit as well. We took some big swings at the car with changes for both races, luckily heading in the right direction both times. I think we were all wishing wish had another session, we would have been right there!”
For race one, Freiberg, who recently came off a seventh place finish at Edmonton a few weeks ago, qualified 14th and finished 12th, and in race two, which was half dry and half rain, she started 13th and worked her way up to ninth.
“We had definitely made big gains in the car for Sunday’s race. I pulled my quickest time of the weekend and was much more consistent. If it had stayed dry I am confident we would have finished even further up the field.”
This weekend’s results bumped her from 12th to 11th in the point standings, currently 30 points behind Zach Veach in 10th place. Freiberg says she is confident that better race results are on their way.
“I know that JDC MotorSports and I are capable of bringing my TrueCar/Virgin Star Mazda machine to a top-five5 finish by the end of the season. We have all been working really hard and getting better each time out, and I know things will eventually come together for us.”
“I am really looking forward to the Grand Prix of Baltimore. I heard it is a great event and a fun racetrack. I am already preparing to hit the track again, and even more determined than ever.”
The Star Mazda Championship Rounds 13 and 14 will be held on September 1-2 at the Grand Prix of Baltimore in Baltimore, MD. To follow the action live go to http://www.starmazda.com/timing/ for live timing and scoring. You can also find on-track schedules for the events. |
