Racing to End Alzheimer’s began its Toyota GR Cup series partnership with Christian Weir and TechSport Racing last month at VIRginia International Raceway in style, with Weir scoring a podium finish in the second of two races.
The team now looks for more in the doubleheader at America’s National Park of Speed, legendary Road America. Having grown up in Naperville, Ill., Weir, 18, has raced at the scenic circuit – located in the Kettle Moraine region of Wisconsin – numerous times.
“Road America is my home track – I have more experience there than anywhere else and it’s the track I’ve done the best on,” said Weir. “I think I’ve earned a podium in every series I’ve run in. VIR and Road America were the two weekends I did last year in GR Cup, and I started on pole for race two there, so plenty of good memories.”
