Mid-Ohio, last race of the season for Tatiana Calderón?

Already the end of the season for Tatiana Calderón? The AJ Foyt Racing team has confirmed that the future of the No. 11 Chevrolet is not guaranteed for the remainder of the current year after the Mid-Ohio round this Sunday, where the team's three cars could appearing together in a race for the last time. The team is indeed plagued by financing problems with the main sponsor ROKiT which Larry Foyt, the owner, is trying to resolve: “We are trying to resolve a difficult situation, because I know ROKiT wants to continue the program, but there are some issues that might prevent it. We will continue to resolve the problem or try to find other funding, which is difficult at this stage of the season. » Sponsored by the same brand, Kyle Kirkwood's No. 14 is guaranteed to finish the season, because its financing does not depend solely on this source.

While waiting to know what her future will hold, the Colombian rookie is preparing for what could therefore be her last race in the series this year. At the same place where she carried out her first test with the team last July. “Mid-Ohio was where I first tested the car with the team, reminds the pilot. So at least I know a little about the circuit and the feeling with this car. It's the first time I'm going to a circuit that I know, for which I had a feeling before (the race weekend). I think we had a good test. And a good race car, so I hope we can get closer to the pace in the first free practice sessions. And yes, we will continue to work. The physical side is more difficult there, it's a small circuit, so it's going to be a good test (laughs). And yes, I'm looking forward to it. »
