AP Racing-equipped Corvette "Bernice" lands JDP back on podium in NASA TT

Driven by the talented Jordan Priestley of JDP Motorsports, Bernice is back and already climbing the ranks in NASA TT competition. Outfitted with AP Racing by Essex Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kits on the front and rear, this potent C7 stops as well as it goes. We got in touch with Jordan to get the full story on why the Corvette was out of commission, and how it felt to get back in the driver's seat. Take a minute to read what he has to say below!

The car was down for 1.5 years due to an engine failure after our 800HP 440ci LT1 gave up the ghost. We had 2.5 seasons and over 80 events on that engine covering multiple NMCA West AutoX Championships, 3^rd Overall at OUSCI in 2019, 1^st at NCM USCA event in 2019 and may other victories. Being a shop car, it got put on the back burner while we handled customer builds. We decided to put it back together with our newly updated 630HP Package to further our development on that package. I felt right at home getting back into Bernice and we were able to take 1^st in TT2 in her maiden voyage at UMC with the Utah NASA group on East Track!
