Three races on tap for team’s Brazilian duo of Franzoni and Myasava

JDC MotorSports and Clark Toppe are primed and ready for the penultimate weekend of the 2014 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered By Mazda. The series will hit the track for a tripleheader this weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, and the JDC crew is focused on putting their driver up front.

The Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio is likely to be crucial to the outcome of this year’s Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda. Seven different winners have emerged from the first nine races of the 14-race season, including a pair of first-time winners two weeks ago on the streets of Toronto, Ont., Canada. The top three contenders are separated by just 22 points. With a total of 97 points available from the trio of races slated for this weekend in support of the Verizon IndyCar Series – and a MAZDASPEED Scholarship up for grabs to advance to the next step of the Mazda Road to Indy, the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, in 2015 – consistency and speed will share equal importance.
