JDX Racing is excited to announce the signing of Madeline Stewart. Madeline will drive the No. 282 JDX Racing / Spool Imports / Byers Porsche in the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America. The season starts March 24th with the opener at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida.
Madeline, a 22-year-old native of Wellington, New Zealand started karting in 2010 where she fine-tuned her racing craft through 2018, which includes being the first female to win a round of the Australian Rotax Pro Tour. She also finished 2nd in KZ2 at the New Zealand National Championships. Madeline then relocated to Australia in 2019 to race cars, where she competed in the Kumho Tyres Super3 series as well as the AUS F1000 series in the Western Australia State Championship finishing 4th despite missing two rounds. The last two race seasons were spent racing in the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia.
Madeline Stewart - Driver No. 282 JDX Racing / Spool Imports / Byers Porsche:
“I’m really excited about this new opportunity, racing in America. JDX has such a great pedigree and had such a strong 2022 Carrera Cup Campaign. I’m really looking forward to working with them and I’m confident that I’ll learn a lot. It’s also great to have Byers Porsche on board for 2023 and I’m excited to build a relationship with them. This will be my first time racing a Porsche 992 Cup Car and to have the chance to race at such iconic circuits as Sebring, Circuit of the Americas, and the Indy Road Course is a dream come true. We’ve had a successful first test at Barber Motorsport Park so I’m excited to see what we can do this year.”
Jeremy Dale - Managing Partner / JDX Racing:
“Porsche Sprint Challenge is quickly becoming a proving ground for young drivers on their way to Carrera Cup, and we think our program is an ideal preparation for our planned 2024 campaign in the ultra-competitive Carrera Cup North America Championship with Madeline. We have just completed our first two test events with Madeline - one at Barber Motorsports Park and the other at Sebring and she did an exceptional job in her first outings in the 992 Cup Car. We are excited to get racing at Sebring.”
