Telitz, Portante and Dayson recap Friday's practice and qualifying sessions

The past month has been a busy one for the Wisconsin based team, with several tests and new partnerships formed during the break. Riding that momentum, it's back to business this week for Aaron Telitz, Peter Portante and James Dayson on the downtown 1.75 mile, 11 turn street circuit.

James Dayson will make his eagerly awaited return to the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda this week at the Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Toronto. Dayson, who hails from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, will drive the #16 Van Diemen-Mazda for ArmsUp Motorsports.

The Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda will make its only trip north of the border this coming weekend, and the Belardi Auto Racing operation will arrive with two tractor trailers to attack the Toronto Indy, running in the Indy Lights series as well. Belardi will have a pair of USF2000 drivers in the paddock, and for one, it will be a big home nation race in which to aim for a career-best finish. Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Daniel Burkett may still be over 1200 miles from his hometown, but the event in Toronto represents his home race and he will be focused on putting the Canadian flag on the podium in both of the weekend’s main events. Dutch pilot Jeroen Slaghekke will join Burkett, coming off a strong fourth place finish at the Night Before The 500 at Lucas Oil Raceway in May.

Drivers representing eight different nations will converge on Exhibition Place in downtown Toronto, Ont., Canada this weekend for the Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Toronto, Rounds 8 and 9 of the ultra-competitive Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.
