Picelle, competing in GTS-2 class, recently had a class win and second-place finish at two sprint races held at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Mich. That, combined with double wins earlier at Beaver Run Motorsports Park in Pennsylvania and podium finishes in three other races this season, puts Picelle at the top of the standings with nine races remaining in the season.
Picelle will compete at Waterford Hills Raceway in Michigan in August, again at Beaver Run on Labor Day weekend and wraps up the Championship season with a four-race weekend at Putnam Park Raceway in Indiana.
