Dillon Battistini to do two Indycar races later this year

The doors of opportunity are flying open for young Dillon Battistini who won last week's Freedom 100. The Brit will now get to do two Indycar races with his Panther Racing team at the end of the year.

"There's a plan to do two races later this year, which will let me retain my rookie status for next year," Battistini said.

"It's likely to be one oval and one street track. I don't know which ones, but maybe Surfer's Paradise. But for now I'm just focusing on getting the job done in Indy Lights."
