Cabot Bigham will Join Bryan Herta Rallysport for the 2017 Red Bull Global Rallycross Season!

INDIANAPOLIS, IND

Prior to winning the 2016 Red Bull Global Rallycross Lites Championship, the 20-year old excelled in multiple racing disciplines including capturing the 2015 West Coast Formula Mazda Championship in his rookie year, 2013 WKA West Coast PRD Championship and second place in the 2014 Red Line Oil Series Pro Stock Honda Championship.

2017 will mark the third season of Red Bull GRC Supercar competition for Bryan Herta Rallysport.  The team has been a consistent presence at the front of the field in GRC competition the last two seasons with driver Patrik Sandell.  The team will continue with its’ venerable MSport Ford Fiesta car, led by team manager, Nick Franzosi.

“I am extremely excited to make the move up to Supercars with such an amazing team,” said Bigham. “Winning the Lites championship last year meant a lot to me, but for 2017 I’m hitting the reset button and will immerse myself within the team to learn as much as possible and perform from the very first weekend. The entire team has warmly introduced themselves and made me feel right at home. I feel as though we both passionately want to prove that Bryan Herta Rallysport is a force to be reckoned with. In 2017 our collective efforts will show the true potential of our outfit.”

“This is an exciting time for our team and the Red Bull Global Rallycross series,” Voiced team co-owner, Bryan Herta. “Last year saw record TV ratings and attendance, and we solidified our place as a legitimate threat to win on any event on the series schedule.  2017 begins a new adventure as we welcome Cabot Bigham to the team as we develop and grow towards the future.  We are very happy with the package we will be taking to the track this year; the season opener in Memphis on April 29th can’t get here soon enough.”

Bigham enters the 2017 Red Bull Global Rallycross Supercar season supported by Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Oral IV and Fuel Clothing. Team partners will be announced shortly.
