Bryson Morris Works to Keep Championship Hopes Alive with Pole for the Andy Scriven Memorial at the Mission Foods VIR SpeedTour

ALTON, Va. (October 7, 2022) – Thick in the hunt for the Formula 4 United States Championship Powered by Honda (F4 U.S.) 2022 title, Bryson Morris secured the pole position for Race 1 of the Andy Scriven Memorial. With a 1:56.812 lap time, Morris led a trio of cars from Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport in their charge during Friday’s qualifying session. Currently ranked second in the championship point standings, Morris is just 14 points behind leader Lochie Hughes (No. 6 Jay Howard Driver Development / CSU One Cure / Lucas Oil / Pelican Ligier JS F4). Hughes qualified 10th for Saturday’s event.

Starting second will be Morris’ teammate, Ryan Shehan (No. 66 Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F4). With momentum on his side, Shehan earned three podiums, including his first win, during the series’ most recent outing at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Rounding out a Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport trifecta for the top three was Gabriel Fonseca (No. 76 Crosslink Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F4) with a 1:57.241 lap time. Andre Castro (No. 8 Future Star Racing Ligier JS F4) qualified fourth on his Hankook tires, followed by Noah Ping (No. 65 Velocity Racing Development Ligier JS F4), who rounded out the top five.
