BROWNSBURG, Ind. – John Cummiskey Racing (JCR) today announced it will be conducting a two-car test on December 8/9 for the 2015 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda at the newly configured NOLA Motorsports Park. A pair of rising Australian driving talents, Jordan Lloyd and Anthony Martin, will get their first taste of U.S. competition aboard the team’s #33 and #34 entries.
Lloyd, 18, finished second in the hotly contested Australian Formula Ford Championship this year with a series high six wins while Martin, 19, was the 2013 Western Australia Formula Ford Champion and Rookie of the Year and 2014 championship runner-up.
“We are excited to continue our preparations for the 2015 season and this test will be another step toward that end,” said John Cummiskey, owner of JCR. “Understanding the dynamics of the NOLA track will be imperative this year as we will be participating in not only two regular season races but also three pre-season races during the Cooper Tires Winterfest in February.”
USF2000 is the first official step on the Mazda Road to Indy – an unparalleled ladder system which offers scholarships to drivers at every level to assist in progression from the grassroots of the sport through USF2000, the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires and Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires to the Verizon IndyCar Series.
“We are excited to have Jordan and Anthony come over and test the waters in USF2000,” said Dan Andersen, Owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions. “John has decades of experience in racing and will provide a great introduction to our series.”
JCR will be joining Andretti Autosport and Team Pelfrey at the outing, which marks the first open-wheel test on the newly updated 2.67-mile circuit. The test is open to the public at no cost.
