PARKER CHASE DOUBLES UP ON PODIUM RESULTS IN TEXAS

"Last to second in race one, another podium finish Sunday"
September 4, 2017 - Competing in his home state of Texas and at one of his favorite
facilities, the Circuit of the Americas, 16-year-old Parker Chase stole the show
 in the Pirelli World Challenge GTS division. Driving the Performance Motorsports
Group prepared Enertech Resources / Protein Water by ProBalance / New Braunfels 
Convention and Visitors Bureau / City of New Braunfels backed Ginetta G55, the talented
Texan drove from dead last to stand on the podium Saturday, and backed that result
up Sunday with his second podium result in as many days.

After two days of testing, Chase was ready to get down to business on Saturday morning.
With qualifying setting the grid for Saturday's main event and Saturday's race laps
setting the grid for Sunday's event, the first day of competition would be an important
one, but a frustrating one at he conclusion of qualifying.

"We were not as quick as we thought we would be and to receive a penalty post session
was frustrating," explained Chase. "Having to start the race from dead last, it 
was definitely a fun one and the Performance Motorsports Group car was hooked up."

Driving from 23rd and dead last on the grid, Parker Chase sliced and diced his way
through the field as he marched his way forward. With fast and consistent race laps,
a heated battle would ensue as Chase continued to put pressure on his fellow competitors.
Claiming the third fastest lap of the event, Chase solidified an inside row two 
starting spot for Sunday while driving his way to the podium.

The 16-year-old continued, "I was happy to stand on the podium in the third position
but it was not until later that I found out about a disqualification in front of
 me elevated me to P2. Super happy for all my team and supporters, but tomorrow 
I will look to do one position better."

Sunday would see a much calmer event as Chase settled into the third position after
the opening complex of corners and kept the lead duo in sight. Swapping positions
with his teammate on a few occasions, the two Performance Motorsports Group drivers
were unable to make a bid for the lead.  Holding off the advances of fellow competitors,
Chase would cross the line in the second position to garner his second podium result
in as many days.

"I had a good battle with Harry and it looked as if we were going to both be on 
the podium," Chase added. "It was disappointing not to get the win, but also upsetting
that Harry could not join me on the blocks."

Next up for Parker Chase and the Performance Motorsports Group will be the Grand
 Prix of Sonoma. Taking place at the Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California over the
September 15-17 weekend, Chase will look to carry his momentum to Wine Country to
score that elusive victory.

Parker Chase, Chase Racing and Performance Motorsports Group would like to thank
 their supporters. A huge thank you to Ginetta Racecars for providing top notch 
equipment and also to the Pirelli World Challenge for providing a series to showcase
the cars and drivers. Parker Chase would also like to thank Protein Water by ProBalance
and New Braunfels Convention and Visitors Bureau as well as the City of New Braunfels.
