Jay Howard Driver Development pilot Evagoras Papasavvas is ready for his final Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship event of the season with a trip to the fast and flowing Portland International Raceway (PIR).

Jay Howard has parlayed a successful racing career of his own into a formidable junior formula racing team but through all his accomplishments, one goal has always been in mind: to see a young driver advance through his in-house program all the way from karting to the top of the ladder: the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.

The most recent round of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship will hold a special memory for Thomas Nepveu, as the 17-year-old Canadian finished second – his best result of the season – in a hard-fought battle in his homeland on the streets of Toronto. The race was held in support of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, which returned north of the border after a three-year absence to a massively enthusiastic crowd, and Nepveu’s podium result was a nod to sponsor Evirum, headquartered in Montreal – an hour’s drive from his hometown of Oka.

The results didn't match the pace shown by Turn 3 Motorsport drivers Christian Weir Spike Kohlbecker on the streets of Toronto.

Jay Howard Driver Development’s Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires and Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship teams suited-up north of the border this weekend for a battle on the streets of Toronto.
