August 14, 2001LEXINGTON, Ohio - Jon Fogarty, of Portola Valley, Calif., announced today that he has decided to forego hopes of returning to the 2001 Dayton Indy Lights Championship and will sit-out the remainder of the season due to a herniated disk located in his cervical vertebrae.
The 26-year-old driver of the No. 32 Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards Lola has missed the last three races at Portland, Kansas, Toronto, and announced earlier this week that he would not race at Mid-Ohio today.
Fogarty and Dorricott Racing welcomed back veteran Indy Lights driver Geoff Boss, of Narragansett, R.I., to drive in the place of Fogarty at Mid-Ohio. Boss also drove for Fogarty at Toronto where he finished an impressive sixth place.
