Wilson hopes to repeat road course success: The last time the Indy Pro Series visited a road course Bobby Wilson stood on the podium with the winner’s trophy in hand. Ditto for the last time the series visited Watkins Glen.
Wilson hopes he can carry momentum from those victories back to The Glen when the Indy Pro Series returns for a doubleheader race weekend July 7-8.
“I think having a little bit of experience at that facility and winning there, obviously, I’m going to have the upper hand, ” said Wilson, whose first career victory came in the rain at Watkins Glen last June. “So I’m looking to have a good outing. I know that the team’s going to be ready and prepped, and we’re just going to put on a good show.
“Knowing the track and knowing the layout and all the little bumps there, just grabbing every reference point on the track and being consistent, I think that’s what’s going to win the race. ”
Wilson’s victory last year came with Kenn Hardley Racing. This year, he’s driving the No. 1 Ocala Gran Prix entry for Brian Stewart Racing, and he claimed his first victory of the season June 17 at Indianapolis, leading all 18 laps.
“It’s been a year of ups and downs, ” said Wilson, who ranks fourth in points on the strength of seven top-10 finishes in eight starts. “I was just glad to record a win this year and boost morale on the team.
“I think we’re going to keep the ball rolling, and just getting back on to the road course is going to be a good thing. ”
Twenty-five cars are entered for the Corning Twin 100s, two 29-lap races on the 11-turn, 3.4-mile course. Practice and the first of two qualifying sessions are scheduled for July 6. The second qualifying session and Race 1 are slated for July 7.
