Battistini signs with Palm Beach Indy Racing

Palm Beach Indy Racing has signed Dillon Battistini to drive its No. 37 Indy Lights Series entry for this weekend’s Chicagoland 100 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Battistini caused a sensation when he won his first oval race at Miami Homestead and went on to win the most races of any driver in the Indy Lights Series in 2008, including the prestigious Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis 500 weekend.

The 37 car will be run with the assistance of Sam Schmidt Motorsport and will be engineered by Don Bricker who previously engineered Battistini with great success at Panther Racing.

Battistini who has been working toward a full Indy Car program is hopeful this will be a platform for next year and delighted to be called up by Ron Dixon the Team Principal at Palm Beach Indy Racing.
