Thank you guys, I get it now. I was confused and didn't realize who is speaking , the writer or the racer. Thank you

Is this from a newspaper? - if so, it means when the newspaper was sent to be printed.

Presumably the "we" in the text is an organization that publishes/has published some kind of report about racing...
