PITTSBORO, Ind.,
Nov. 17 - Team Moore Racing (TMR)
announced today that Chatham, N.J., native and
current
Las Vegas resident Andrew Prendeville will drive
the
Xtreme Coil Drilling machine for TMR in the
Firestone
Indy Lights Series in 2009.
"We are excited to have Andrew join our team,"
said
Tom Wood, TMR co-owner. "He has great skills as
a
driver, and with our top-flight racing team, we
think
that will be a winning combination in '09.
Watching
him race last year, Andrew is a winner."
Prendeville will be entering his third season of
Firestone Indy Lights competition. The
27-year-old
has compiled an impressive racing resume,
including
seven Top 10s in his 12 starts during 2008 while
running
for RLR/Andersen Racing.
"I am really looking forward to the 2009 season
with Mark
Moore and the whole team," Prendeville said.
"After testing
with Mark, I think that we can work very well
together and fight
for podium finishes. We still have lots of time
before the
season starts so my focus will be on testing,
and building a
solid chemistry with everyone on the team."
"The team and I are really looking forward to
2009 with
Andrew in our car," said Mark Moore, TMR
co-owner.
"He is a very talented driver, and I really feel
we have a
shot at the championship with someone of
Andrew's
caliber behind the wheel.
"We have only one seat available now, and we are
working
hard to sign a driver for our second car,"
continued Moore.
"There are a lot of skilled drivers out there
and we are
weighing our options carefully. Andrew will be a
perfect
teammate for anyone out there with his knowledge
of
these cars and the series."
The 2009 Firestone Indy Lights series gets
underway
April 4-5 with a doubleheader on the streets of
St. Petersburg, Fla.
