Piquet returns to SH Rallycross

Nelson Piquet

Nelson Piquet Jr. will return to pilot the #07 SH Rallycross/DRR Ford Fiesta at the upcoming Washington, D.C. Red Bull Global Rallycross race. Piquet won the D.C. round last year but left GRC this season due to conflicts in Formula E and the WEC.

"Last year Nelson did a fantastic job bringing us our first GRC win," said team owner James "Sulli" Sullivan. "The opportunity arose for his to race with us again for the Washington D.C. event, so we felt it only fitting that we put him back behind the wheel and if he can make magic again."

No word on the status of Jeff Ward, who has piloted the #07 thus far in 2016, or who will drive for the team at the Atlantic City round at the end of August.
