New Zealand's Jonny Reid successfully completed his Firestone Indy Lights rookie test on May 19 at Iowa Speedway, clearing the way for him to compete in the Firestone Freedom 100 on May 23.

The 24-year-old native of Auckland, New Zealand completed the requirements in a car prepared by Integra Motorsports under the direction of Firestone Indy Lights Technical Director Butch Meyer.

"Jonny Reid is a very good driver,"
Meyer said. "He did everything we asked of him and understood the car very well. He was smooth as glass and very impressive. He was turning laps within a few tenths of the quick time here last year and was working on getting faster."

Reid has competed and won in various junior formulas around the world, and was lead driver for Team New Zealand's runner-up campaign in the recently completed A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.
