Thompson leads season standings ahead of Toronto race this weekend
Parker Thompson races north of the border this weekend as he looks to increase his championship lead on the Mazda Road to Indy racing tour.
The Red Deer native will be hitting the track for the Cooper Tires Pro Mazda Grand Prix of Toronto.
Thompson is driving for the Canadian-based Exclusive Autosport team in his first year on the Pro Mazda tour after moving up from the USF2000 circuit. He owns the points lead in the chase for a Mazda Scholarship worth $790,300 to move up to the Indy Lights circuit in 2019.
The 20-year-old has won three times in Toronto over the past two years, including claiming the Exclusive team’s maiden Mazda Road to Indy triumph in 2017.
