Indianapolis, Ind.

“I’m excited to get the month of May started with the Indy GP this weekend,” said Fitzgerald. “It’s an incredible track with so much history, and it’s a track I’m familiar with from pre-season testing as well. With that in mind, I’m optimistic that we can deliver good results throughout the triple header weekend.”

“I’m looking forward to racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” said Dyszelski. “It’s an iconic venue, and we had good pace testing here with Turn 3 Motorsport. I’m hoping we can continue producing good results here and have some solid results in the three races over the weekend.”

“We left NOLA with a lot of motivation to improve,” said Durst. “This month, I am fully committed to bringing my best to this team. I have moved to Indianapolis for the month and wrapped up my second year at college. I have adjusted how I train and prepare for events and can’t wait to see how that affects my racing. I’m looking forward to kicking this month off at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and seeing where May takes us.”

“I’m looking forward to racing this weekend in Indianapolis,” said Hughes. “The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a historic track and probably one of my favorite races of the year. With it being another triple header event, it’s especially important to do well here, so let’s see what we can do.”

“I’m excited to go racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” said Ho. “In Qualifying 1 at the last event in NOLA, we showed we have the pace to run up at the front. One of our goals needs to be able to consistently put down those kinds of results and clean up any possible mistakes during the races. I’m determined to meet that goal this weekend here in Indy.”
Up first for the USF Pro 2000 series and Turn 3 Motorsport is pre-event testing and official practice tomorrow followed by qualifying and the first of three races on Friday. Two more races will take place on Saturday to round out the weekend in Indianapolis.
Live video coverage will be available on the USF Pro Championships app and YouTube channels throughout the weekend.
