Conquest Racing is returning to Watkins Glen International this week, this time for the fourth event of the 2024 Ferrari Challenge North America season. As the full field returns to competition following a condensed format in the prior round, the team is back in full force and ready to tackle the 3.45-mile, eleven-turn circuit. 

The previous round in Montreal, Canada saw the team’s Trofeo Pirelli competitors score some vital points in their respective categories. In the P class, Dave Musial Jr. now sits fourth overall in the standings, with a third and fourth place finish earning him an additional 58 points. With 173 points total heading into the next round, he is only two points behind the Top 3, and remains well within striking distance to the top of the leaderboard. 

Meanwhile, Jon Bennett, who occupies the sixth position in the standings with 154 points, is less than 10 points away from breaking into the Top 5. He scored a strong fourth and fifth place finish in the two races at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, and will be seeking to carry this progress into Watkins Glen. 

In the P-AM class, Dave Musial is fourth in the class championship, only a mere two points away from third place. After displaying strong pace in both wet and dry track conditions, he will be eyeing a strong result to move himself up into the Top 3. 

Watkins Glen will also see numerous drivers return to the track as the series welcomes back a complete grid.  Roy Carroll will be back on track in the Coppa Shell championship in the S-AM class, and will be accompanied in the same class by Melissa Kozyra, who previously ran in Club Challenge. The 488 Challenge will boast numerous competitors in Conquest Racing’s fleet, including Logan Broughton in the P class, who is currently fourth in the standings but will be heading into the upcoming round tied on points with the third place sitter. 

Brad Evans, Gregory Hopkins, Joel Rosenbacher, and Henry Hummel are back in the running in the S class of 488 Challenge, all of whom occupy spots in the Top 10. Anthony DeCarlo will also be back in the mix after previously competing with the team at the opening round.

Conquest Racing will also be present in Club Challenge with the likes of Don Garrett, Jamie Garrett, and Brittany Carroll.
