John is riding the momentum of a sweep of both races and both pole positions in the Harrah’s Autobahn Grand Prix presented by Mazda doubleheader two weeks ago and is looking to further close his five-point gap in the championship standings to points leader Simona De Silvestro today.

“Once again, it’s a really great day for Newman Wachs Racing locking out the front row for tomorrow’s race,” said Edwards. “Obviously, I’d like the roles to be reversed, but the important thing for me is I’m ahead of Simona. That’s the championship battle, Jonathan had a piece break in Autobahn, so he’s a little further back in the championship trying to make up some ground. Right now, we’re really focused on staying ahead of Simona. It’d be great to win tomorrow, but Jonathan’s definitely got the advantage starting from pole, since it’s so hard to pass here. But we’re ahead of Simona and that’s what we’re shooting for this weekend.”
