The record will show that 14-year-old Max Garcia started from the pole position for Pabst Racing and won today’s first of two races that will comprise The Andersen Companies Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, the opening round of the new USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire season. But that doesn’t come close to telling the whole story.

Following the long off-season, Evagoras Papasavvas is returning to the USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire series with Jay Howard Driver Development (JHDD) and will commence a new campaign beginning this weekend at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Both USF Pro 2000 and USF2000 have attracted strong fields with over 40 rising stars of the sport seeking to begin their bids for scholarship prizes to catapult them toward a future in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, which also commences its 2024 season on the unforgiving streets.

Jay Howard Driver Driver Development will field four eager young drivers this week on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla., for the opening rounds of the USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire .

Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR) has announced Drive Planning as its returning primary sponsor with an expansion of programs for both 2024 USF2000 Presented by Continental Tires and the 500 Sprint Car Tour.
