07/17/14 Dear AR1.com, I read in your "IndyCar’s sorry history" that Conquest Racing has folded!
This is not the case at all. My organization is active and will be involved in open wheel racing testing in a few weeks.
Furthermore, Conquest Racing is finalizing different programs for next season.
Please remove my organization from this list.
Thanks,
Eric Bachelart
President & CEO
