BROWNSBURG, Ind. - Returning home is always a welcome change of pace, and for John Cummiskey Racing it doesn't get much better than going back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the 2016 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.
Last year John Cummiskey Racing scored a fourth and third at the two races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course and the team is hoping to repeat those results this year with drivers Ayla Agren and Lucas Kohl.
Agren scored two top-10 finishes at Barber Motorsports Park and returns to the track that gave Agren one of her best results of 2015 with a sixth-place finish in race one on the road course at IMS. Agren, piloting the No. 33 Energima machine, is hoping to secure a similar result this year after a successful test on Wednesday where she posted the eighth fastest time in the second session.
Kohl had two challenging races at Barber Motorsports Park in his No. 34 Bellko Trading car. A couple of on-track incidents set Kohl back to finishing in 21st position in both races, however in the testing at the road course at IMS, Kohl posted the ninth fastest time in the second session of the day, providing a good omen for the Brazilian.
Agren: "I'm super excited to be back at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There is something truly special about that place. We showed that we have speed at Barber, now we just have to keep on working and carry that momentum into this weekend as well. JCR did a great job there last year, so I am excited to get going in my Energima car!"
Lucas Kohl: "I'll be working really hard this week to learn the track as quick as I can and score some good points and get back from Barber Motorsports Park. We have a good starting point, now we have to finish with our Bellko Trading car."
The USF2000 championship will race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on Friday May 13 at 1:00 PM ET and Saturday May 14 at 12:15 PM ET. The races can be followed on the Road to Indy app for iOS and Android and at www.roadtoindy.tv.
