Enzo Potolicchio may not be driving a car in the Grand-Am series, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to support it.
Potolicchio announced on Wednesday that he would no longer be driving the No. 8 car in Grand-Am competition, citing frustrations from officiating inconsistencies.
However, on Thursday, it was announced that instead of retiring the No. 8 car, as originally planned, Potolicchio has decided to keep the car on the track and financially support it.
Starworks Motorsport announced that Lucas Luhr will replace Potolicchio as a driver, joining Ryan Dalziel in the No. 8.
“We’re very grateful that Enzo is helping us get through the remanding of the season,” team owner Peter Baron told Speed.com. “Ryan, Enzo and the [No.] 8 car have done very well in the championship this year, and after thinking about it for a couple of days, Enzo didn’t want his [withdrawal] to hurt Ryan and the team.”
Dalziel is currently in second place in the DP category with four rounds to go. He is just 11 points behind Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas.
The newly formed team of Luhr and Dalziel will race together, for the first time, this weekend in the Continental Tire 200 at Watkins Glen.
