A new number and a new ride for Henry Drury in this weekend\u2019s doubleheader at Road America<\/em><\/p>\n

MILLVILLE, NJ (August 15, 2024) \u2013 Precision Racing LA w\/PT Autosport and Henry Drury head back to Road America this weekend, with Drury moving behind the wheel of the SEGRA-sponsored No. 44 GR86 for the Toyota GR Cup doubleheader, part of the SRO Motorsports America event.<\/p>\n

The weekend will be a single-car effort for Precision Racing LA w\/PT Autosport, which moves the 24-year-old English born, Tampa, Fla. resident into the blue SEGRA livery. The weekend marks the first Toyota GR Cup event at a track Drury has raced at before, having driven a Spec Boxster in a Porsche Club of America event in his last race of the 2023 season \u2013 and missing out on his first victory by the slimmest of margins. But despite everything Road America and the surrounding area has to offer, when the 24-year-old English born, Tampa, Fla. resident thinks about Road America, he thinks about\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cCheese,\u201d said Drury. \u201cCompletely serious response. I mean, one of the billboards has a cheese company on it (Sargento, based in nearby Plymouth)! And, of course, it\u2019s a pretty awesome track, one of the \u201cbig boy\u201d tracks \u2013 the kind of place you grow up wanting to race at, like Watkins Glen or Indianapolis. It was only my third race ever in 2023 so I\u2019m looking forward to going back with the knowledge I have now, to see what The Kink is like in a Toyota GR86. Last year, Alex (Sedgwick, Porsche Carrera Cup driver and Drury\u2019s driver coach) said that Road America was \u2018always fast, sometimes scary\u2019 but I think it might always be scary!\u201d<\/p>\n

Every racer looks forward to a Road America weekend, and PT Autosport team principal Jason Myers is no exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be back in Elkhart Lake for the second time in three weeks!\u201d said Myers. “It\u2019s such a historic track, beautiful area, and the most amazing fans. It was packed for the IMSA weekend and I\u2019m hoping the same for SRO.<\/p>\n

\u201cHenry had a great drive at VIR and was running P6 in the first race until an unfortunate clutch failure. I think that him and Alex running together was a great learning experience for Henry, and I think Alex had fun as well \u2013 and it\u2019s always good to have race seat time! PRLA has been delivering us a consistent quality car all season and we look forward to tackling Road America in our GR86, and to see how Henry does here now that he has a good deal more experience under his belt compared\u00a0to\u00a0last\u00a0year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Toyota GR Cup series will contest two 45-minute races at Road America \u2013 race one will take the green flag Saturday at 2:55 p.m. ET, with race two Sunday at 1:15 p.m. Both races will be broadcast live at\u00a0www.grcup.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
