Oconomowoc, Wisconsin - Pabst Racing is pleased to announce that Canadian driver Lucas Nanji will return to the team for the 2027 USF2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire. Following his rookie season in 2026, Nanji will once again pilot the No. 24 Pabst Racing Tatuus USF-22 with sponsorship from Automobile Etc Motorsports Inc as he looks to build on his experience and progress in the series.
Nanji made his USF2000 debut in 2026 after transitioning from a successful regional and international karting career. Throughout his rookie campaign, he gained valuable experience competing in 18 races, finishing 13th overall in the championship standings with 158 points. His season included two top-five finishes, at St. Petersburg and Road America, along with five top-10 results.
Building on that experience, Nanji demonstrated promising pace during the October 2026 USF Pro Fall Combine at Indianapolis, where he topped five testing sessions. The strong postseason performance provided positive momentum heading into preparations for his second USF2000 season.
With a full year of experience behind him and an established relationship with Pabst Racing, Nanji returns for 2027 focused on continued development and competing at the front of the field.
“I’m really happy to be back with Pabst Racing,” said Nanji. “There’s a lot to look forward to in 2027, and I’m excited to keep developing with the team. I can’t wait to get back in the No. 24 and go racing.”
Pabst Racing and Nanji will continue their off-season testing and preparation ahead of the 2027 USF2000 Championship.
