DALLAS , Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nick Boulle of deBoulle, an independent jewelry salon in Dallas and Houston , returns to the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks in the six-hour IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship event on the weekend of September 20-22, 2024 .
The Inter Europol by PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports Team features Boulle, Tom Dillmann and Kuba Smiechowski , who has had to sit out the recent sprint events. The former leads the Jim Trueman award and is – as ever – charged with qualifying and starting duties in the Tire Rack.com Battle on the Bricks.
With a 27-point lead in the LMP2 championship standings, recent races have been something of a rollercoaster, with the team first securing its first podium (Watkins Glen ) – its first race victory in the series (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) – and then back down to earth with a bump at Road America.
Through it all, though, the team has minimized the damage on days when a race for the win was not possible, which has been crucial in the fight for the championship.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the car,” stated Boulle. “Indianapolis means short laps, and it will be especially physical, but it should suit us well. Each race, we continue to make gains with the car, and this is a circuit I have raced at in the past, and we even had a short test there this year, which is good.”
“We made some mistakes this year at Road America, but overall, this year has really been a dream come true for me. I have probably done more racing this year than any other over the last decade. There are some thoughts on next year, but for me, the focus is on the final two rounds and, of course, the championship!”
The three-day festival showcasing the pinnacle of sports car racing kicks off on Friday, September 20 . Race fans in the IMS infield can get up close and personal with their favorite sports cars, drivers and teams.
