Juan Pablo Garcia Joins Belardi Auto Racing

"It's really great to have Juan Pablo join us for these last two races. He's been great competition for us this season and now it'll be interesting to see how he does on our team. With the Grand Prix of Houston being a new event for everyone, it's going to be a pretty even playing field, so he'll have a chance to get comfortable in the car. It should be an exciting race leading to the finale in Fontana," Team Owner Brian Belardi said.

"I'm very happy to race for Belardi Auto Racing. This year Belardi has had several podiums and I hope to finish there during these couple of events. They are very professional and competitive. They've demonstrated that many times," driver Juan Pablo Garcia said.

"That's why it makes me very proud that Belardi invited me to join the team after what happened, so I can be in a position to finish the season in the best way possible. I want to thank (Team Owner) Brian Belardi and (Team Manager) John Brunner for giving me the opportunity to race Car No. 5 International/Mapfre/Euclid Chemical/TVC + Latino/AutoShow TV/ Belardi Auto Racing. I'm looking forward to do so," Garcia added.

Garcia will join Belardi Auto Racing Venezuelan drivers, Jorge Goncalvez and Giancarlo Serenelli. He will fill the third seat for Belardi's Firestone Indy Lights line-up.
