ROAD TO INDY

USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire is the first official step on the USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire driver development system, which provides an unparalleled scholarship-funded path to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and Indianapolis 500. The series is an entry level program for young drivers needing more experience and track time before moving onto the highly competitive USF2000 platform, and brings a level of professionalism and organization to a driver's first serious championship choice.

USF2000 Championship, sanctioned by USAC, the series is the second official step on USF Pro Championships - a clearly defined path to reach the top echelons of the sport. In addition to providing a vital training ground for rising stars, the series is the next step on the ladder system.

USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire (formerly Indy Pro 2000) has served as a vital step on the career path of many of today’s top drivers. It is the third official step on the USF Pro Championships ladder. The series is sanctioned by USAC and owned and operated by Andersen Promotions.

USF Pro 2000’s roots date back to 1991 with the Star Mazda Championship, which ceased operation in 2012 after 22 years. Andersen Promotions founded what is now USF Pro 2000 in December of 2012 to replace the void left by Star Mazda. Graduates include Oliver Askew, Conor Daly, Louis Foster, James Hinchcliffe, Sage Karam, Kyle Kirkwood, Patricio O'Ward, Graham Rahal, Christian Rasmussen, Myles Rowe, Sting Ray Robb and Rinus VeeKay.

 

 

From USF Pro 2000, drivers move into INDY NXT – which, since 1986, has been a vital step for competitors to reach the pinnacle of racing in America. INDY NXT is the final stepping stone to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
