The highly acclaimed USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire open-wheel driver development program wrapped up another successful season of competition yesterday evening at the traditional Championship Celebration.

Max Garcia won the first race of the day to clinch the USF2000 championship, while G3 Argyros escaped the chaos to win race two.

Michael Costello made light of extremely treacherous conditions this afternoon to claim a well deserved maiden USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire victory for Jay Howard Driver Development in the first of three races that will comprise the Continental Tire Grand Prix of Portland.

The Team USA Scholarship will enable a pair of promising young American drivers, Ayrton Houk and Thomas Schrage, to contest this weekend’s USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire tripleheader season finale at Portland International Raceway.

Jay Howard Driver Development (JHDD) driver Evagoras Papasavvas is looking to build on his string of good results to end the season strong, entering the USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire finale fourth in the championship and still with a mathematical chance of taking the title.
