Reid: Winning Will Accelerate Force Indy as Role Models

The men and women of Force Indy, a second-year race team tackling the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires championship for the first time this season, understand they face a tall order to be competitive at the season-opening event Feb. 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida. “We want to win races,” Reid said at last week’s introduction of Ernie Francis Jr. as Force Indy’s driver for 2022. Reid, Francis and all of those involved with “Race for Equality & Change” strive for inclusion in motorsports, and it’s fitting that Indy Lights begins this season during Black History Month. “Being from a Haitian-American background, I look different than most of the other drivers out there, (and) I notice that when I go to the racetrack,” he said. “As I walked up and down (pit road), I saw members of the Force Indy team working on (INDYCAR) teams in the ‘500,’” he said.
