Sloan Urry commented, “I’m thrilled to be joining JDX for a full GT3 Challenge season this year. The paddock is stacked with competition, and there’s no doubt I’ll be leaving it all out on-track for every race. The off season was a lot of work, but nothing compared to what I am willing to do to bring home the season Championship. ”
