Jonny Reid - Indy Lights

Indy Lights

Reid passed his Firestone Indy Lights rookie test on 19 May 2008 at Iowa Speedway and made his debut for Integra Motorsports in the 2008 Firestone Freedom 100 on 23 May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In race 2 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Reid took a career-best start of third and finish of fourth in race one, and the grid reversal gave him pole for race two. In wet conditions amidst lots of Safety Car periods Reid led most of the race, which was run to time rather than laps due to the delays. Reid took the white flag in second place behind Mitch Cunningham, but Cunningham then crashed at turn one, before a three-car incident further back involving points leader Richard Antinucci brought out the yellow flag. This effectively gave Reid the race, but (with his radio having failed earlier) he was unclear on the situation, and pitted at the end of the lap, meaning that he crossed the line in ninth place, gifting the win to James Davison. Reid left Integra Motorsports and missed the next race on the schedule. He returned one round later at Infineon Raceway driving a fourth car for Sam Schmidt Motorsports.
