A few weeks ago, MAXSpeed Group and Andersen Promotions joined forces in a partnership program to help advance the careers of young karters into the Mazda Road to Indy (MRTI). Today they are pleased to announce that Verizon IndyCar Series standout James Hinchcliffe, Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires points leader Gabby Chaves, veteran karter and multi-time Team USA member Alan Rudolph and three-time Rotax Grand Finals champion Ben Cooper will comprise the panel of judges to select four qualified and deserving drivers who will be awarded one-day tests in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.

Cape Motorsports w/Wayne Taylor Racing Clinches Team Championship

Following a dramatic green/white-checkered finish in diabolical wet conditions, it was Jake Eidson who emerged to take the victory – his second of the season – for Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing.

RC Enerson bounced back into contention for the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda by scoring an accomplished victory in this afternoon’s Allied Building Products Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio Race One.

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.
