The time has finally come! We are extremely proud to announce that we will be running with Afterburner Autosport for our rookie year in the Cooper Tires USF2000 series powered by Mazda. Hot off of a top 5 finish in the Formula Ford Festival while representing the United States for the Team USA Scholarship courtesy of Jeremy Shaw, I was awarded a $200,000 scholarship to compete in the 2016 USF2000 championship as a Mazda scholarship driver after winning the Skip Barber Championship Shootout in November of 2015. This is an extreme honor as I will be the only driver in the field sporting the classic Soul Red Mazda paint scheme.

The series will take us across the country and into Canada for a 16 race, 8 weekend schedule. We will be competing against some of the finest talent in the nation, but we strongly believe that with support of Mazda Motorsports, Afterburner Autosport, Molecule Sports, Cooper Tires, Team USA Scholarship, and all of our friends and family, that this will be a year to remember. Be sure to read our official driver announcement to get insight on the teamโ€™s and our thoughts for this upcoming year.

All the best,
