The Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires open-wheel driver development ladder returns to action this week, April 28-May 1, following a two-month hiatus since the opening races of the new season.

Thomas Nepveu, from Oka, Que., Canada, claimed bragging rights after topping the timing charts during today’s one-day Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship test at Barber Motorsports Park.

Joining the Joe Dooling Autosports #63 entry of Trey Burke, the team will now operate as Joe Dooling Autosports - Curb/Agajanian and have primary partners of Curb Records and Dooling Machine Products.

As the temperature outside starts to heat up, so does the competition for the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship after the first two races of the season in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Michael d’Orlando returned to racing action just over a week ago to kick off the 2022 season in the support of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES premier event, the Grand Prix of St Petersburg.
