Brunner joins Brooks team

Brooks Associates Racing, in its inaugural year with the Firestone Indy Lights Championship, announces the addition of John Brunner as team manager. John Brunner's background in Atlantic (with Forsythe Racing) and Conquest Racing complement the team's goals and focus. "John is a great addition to the team – his expertise as a team manager and reputation in the industry are unparalleled." said John Brooks, team owner. "I really wanted to add this role to the team as we look to 2011 and beyond. Our team has achieved much since its inception and John Brunner's contributions will really maximize the benefits we can provide our drivers."

"I'm very pleased with the opportunity to work with Brooks Associates Racing, I have known John and Sue since first competing with them in 1998 and we have talked about working together since that time. It's taken a few years but the timing is just right for all of us to compete in our first year of Indy Lights together and I expect for our team to be competitive right out of the box. The group that is being put together all know how and what it takes to win races and championships. " said John Brunner

The team tested at Firebird with Jorge Gonca… and is in the process of setting up additional test days when the holiday season black out is lifted.
