After a successful inaugural season of GR Cup in 2023, Precision Racing L.A. (PRLA) are finalizing preparations for the 2024 SRO Series by blending seasoned veterans with determined newcomers eager to make their mark. This year’s lineup includes Aidan Yoder (#44), Alexandra Hainer (#43), Spencer Bucknum (#7), and Henry Drury (#88).
Returning driver, Aidan Yoder, will once again represent PRLA in the GR Cup. The 20-year-old Southern California native, took a pole and one podium in the inaugural season. He placed an impressive P8 in driver standings in 2023. Having visited all but one of the 2024 season’s circuits in the GR Cup last season, the experience gained during 2023 will pay major dividends. Yoder will continue his partnership with Segra and is positioned as a leading competitor this season.
New to the team, but certainly not motorsport, Alexandra Hainer will join PRLA in the GR Cup. Hainer grew up at the racetrack watching her IMSA champion dad compete and was inspired to follow in his footsteps. Hainer has been a routine competitor in the Porsche Owners Club series over the past 9 years.
In his third year with the team, 2023 SRO Touring Car TCA Champion and third generation race car driver, Spencer Bucknum, will make his debut in the Toyota GR Cup Series with Precision Racing L.A. at Sonoma. Bucknum has been eager to enter the next level of racing and sought out the Toyota GR Cup as another chapter in the young driver’s professional career.
Henry Drury will race the GR Cup with PRLA, in partnership with PT Autosport. Drury’s journey into racing is nothing short of remarkable. While training for the Olympics, Henry's aspirations ended abruptly with a career-ending spinal injury. During his nine-year recovery, he found his competitive fire again through sim racing. In 2022, Drury won the PT Autosport Aspiring Driver Shootout and a two-year slot in the team’s junior driver program. After exceeding expectations in GR Cup testing late last year, Drury got the call to race GR Cup for 2024, a dream come true.
