JDX Racing
Prestige Imports is a proud sponsor of JDX Racing.
JDX Racing, based in Loveland CO, is co-owned by Jeremy Dale and Harrison Brix. Dale, a well-known and popular Canadian driver in the IMSA paddock of the 80's and 90's, achieved multiple IMSA wins, including 2 World Sports Car (WSC) victories at the Daytona 24 Hour endurance event. After stepping out of the driver's seat and into team management roles in open-wheel racing, Dale saw 2011 as the right time to transition from team management to team ownership.
Coming off their inaugural season in the American Le Mans Series GT Challenge class of competition, JDX Racing has announced they will campaign their #11 Porsche GTC car again for the complete 2012 ALMS season with an all-new driver line up. The team will make its 2012 debut at the 60th Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida on March 17, 2012.
Veteran gentleman driver Chris Cumming will anchor the driver roster with sports car and open wheel star Michael Valiante providing his immense talents to the effort. Mark Bullitt will be adding his experience as the third driver in the long distance events. However, due to a scheduling conflict, Michael Valiante will not be driving with the team at the 2012 season opening Sebring 12 Hour event. In his absence, JDX Racing has enlisted the help of 2011 French Porsche Carrera Cup Champion and 2011 Porsche Supercup Rookie of the Year, Kévin Estre.
Through an eventful 2011 season of GTC competition, the JDX Racing squad rolled through the highs and lows of racing. Finishing fourth at Sebring, narrowly missing the podium by just a few seconds in their first ever event was the highlight of the season. The low point was not taking the green flag at the season-ending Petit Le Mans race after their #11 GTC Porsche was hit and totaled by an errant LMP car during a practice session. The JDX team used the winter season to rebuild their car and make improvements at all levels of the organization.
Team co-owner, Harrison Brix said " We are excited to be back in the ALMS paddock this year and I believe that our new driver line up with Chris Cumming, Michael Valiante, Mark Bullitt and Kévin Estre, is going to give our team plenty of time at the front of the GTC field. We've maximized our time in the shop, focused on car development and improving all of our processes. We learned a great deal during the 2011 season and we are looking to carry that momentum into 2012."
Chris Cumming, a veteran IMSA Challenge Porsche GT3 Cup driver, who drove with JDX Racing for three events in 2011, added, "I'm thrilled to be returning to JDX for a full ALMS GTC season this year. We've worked hard over the winter to put together a strong program. I couldn't ask for two better teammates than Mark and Michael and I'm looking forward to showing what we can achieve in 2012."
Michael Valiante, one of open-wheel racing's brightest young stars as well as an accomplished endurance racer continued "I worked with Chris last season in a driver coaching role when he competed in GT3 Cup and have known him for many years racing Karts. He knows this Porsche very well and is fast and smart behind the wheel. I have not driven with Mark before, but I know he and Chris were front running drivers in the GT3 Cup class. I believe we can challenge for the podium at every event."
Adding to the driver roster for the long distance events is Mark Bullitt, another veteran of the IMSA Challenge Porsche GT3 Cup series. Bullitt remarked, "I'm looking forward to running with JDX in this upcoming GTC season. We have a strong and well-prepared team as well as fast and reliable drivers. Chris and I had some good battles in last year's GT3 series and I'm happy to have him as my teammate. Michael has an excellent record and I know he will help us get the most out of the car and ourselves. With Kevin filling in for Michael at Sebring, I'm confident this team will execute on all levels and we have a good chance of finishing on the top step."
Kévin Estre commented, "I'm really excited to be part of the Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring ? plus I am very proud that JDX Racing has the confidence in my ability to offer me a chance to race with them in America's most historic endurance race." Estre continued, "I've had some time testing with Chris and Mark recently and have total confidence in my co-drivers, the car and the team"
