Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda's 2011 season's third-place finisher, Wayne Boyd, will return to Belardi Auto Racing for the Grand Prix of Baltimore; the British Racing Driver Club Superstar will replace 17-year-old Luca Forgeois in the team's No. 9 USF2000 car. 
 
"All of us at Belardi Auto Racing are looking forward to welcoming Wayne back in the car in Baltimore where he won last year," said team owner Brian Belardi. "We had a really great season with Wayne in 2011 and hope to see that good fortune continue again this weekend."
 
The 2008 British Formula Ford and Formula Ford Festival Champion captured two wins, six podiums and 10 Top-10 finishes in last year's 12-race season with the Brownsburg, IN based team. With one of Boyd's wins occurring on the streets of downtown Baltimore, the 21-year-old from Belfast, Ireland is ready to face the 12-turn, 2-mile street course once more.
 
"I'm very delighted to be back with Belardi Auto Racing with help from my partner DHL," said Boyd. "I am very much looking forward to Baltimore as I had a win there last year.  I have to thank everyone who made this opportunity possible."
