Garcia takes the victory of USF Pro 2000 Race 2 in St. Pete

Florida adolescents have swept the Interior of Andersen’s hiring prize of this weekend from St. Petersburg with Max García claiming an emphatic victory this morning for Pabst races. On the basis of his second place yesterday, the young man of Coconut Grove, Florida, who still measures two weeks of 16th birthday, surpassed the winner of the Alessandro Opening Round of Tullio (Motorsport 3 of Motorsport), of Miami immediately after a restart to consolidate an early advantage in the USF Pro 2000 presented by the continental championship of the chase tires.

Mac Clark finished a second fort for the exclusive Autosport, followed by García’s teammate, Jacob Douglas, who recovered impressive after an incident in the first race of the weekend.

Tullio began once again at the head of the field after securing his second prize of Pole Continental Tire, and for the second consecutive day, Garcia flanked him for the beginning.

Tullio continued to hold the lead despite an early precautions of the full course, but for the fourth consecutive year, the winning team of the season’s opening career could not support that success in race 2. The Jinx continues.

Yesterday, Garcia had tried several times to expel De Tullio from leadership braking a little later on the outer line in curve one. This time, he tried something different. When Tullio left a small opening inside after a reboot in return 10, Garcia immediately filled that space and cleared under braking for shift 1. never looked back.

The USF2000 of last year presented by Continental Tire Champion maintained its advantage after two more full -course precautions during a 25 -laps race full of incidents. Garcia then moved away from the field in the last two laps to guarantee a clear victory: his third in the challenging reset of 1.8 miles after sweeping both USF2000 races in 2024.

“It was the same situation as yesterday behind Tullio for a while and then ended up with him at the time 1 and never looked back after that,” Garcia said. “Then, very excited to have been able to achieve it.”

Clark, who formed three positions in the initial lap, benefited even more than an early shock in the once between the headlines of the second row Elliot Cox (Turn 3 Motorsport) and Michael Costello (Pabst Racing). Until third place after starting eighth, Clark opportunely followed Garcia beyond Tullio to move on to second place.

Max Taylor de Vrd Racing also managed to find a path beyond a couple of turns later, and shortly after, Tullio lost his reference score under braking for shift 4 and slipped towards the barriers. His day was over.

Later, Taylor was ordered by the control of the race to give a position to Douglas as a penalty for excessive protection of his position, moving the kiwi to the third.

In front, Clark could not match Garcia’s rhythm, but he could still defend himself from Douglas’s attention. Taylor also ended very close in fourth, just ahead of the teammate Owen Tangavelou and Jace Denmark of TJ Speed Motorsport.

Jorge Garciace claimed the Tilton Hard Charger Award after getting from 18 on the network to the ninth. He marked the second consecutive day that a Deforece racing driver had taken the honor after his Brazilian teammate Nicholas Monteiro did it on Saturday.
