Brady Golan Goes Back-to-Back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in FR Americas

INDIANAPOLIS (June 21, 2026) – Brady Golan won again in Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) on Sunday morning. Going back-to-back in the first two races of the event, Golan became the first driver this season to win multiple FR Americas races in a single weekend.

Notes of Interest:

Winning Race 2 at IMS, Brady Golan tallied his fourth victory of the 2026 season.
After starting eighth, Cooper Shipman made a last-lap pass to take second and claim his fourth podium of the season.
With a third-place finish in Race 2, seven of Evagoras Papasavvas’ nine finishes have been on the podium this season.
Alejandro Bobadilla (No. 8 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) crossed the bricks in fifth to earn his career-best finish.
After missing the rounds at Road America and Mid-Ohio, Anthony Autiello returned to the top step of the podium at IMS winning the Masters Cup Class for the second time this season.

Setting the fast lap while racing from last to second yesterday, Evagoras Papasavvas (No. 71 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) started on pole for Race 2 on Sunday morning. Pulling out front to lead the pack, Papasavvas’ early laps were filled with intense pressure from both Brady Golan (No. 40 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) and Kekai Hauanio (No. 29 N-E-Where Transport / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3), as they looked to gain an advantage. Hauanio no sooner overtook Golan for second before suffering a flat tire and was forced down pit road. With Hauanio removed from contention, it became a two-man battle between Papasavvas and Golan.

Papasavvas held the lead for most of the race, but a restart with just seven minutes to go gave Golan another shot. Timing his launch perfectly, Golan dove to the inside of Papasavvas as they raced into Turn 1, completed the pass and took the point position. Behind them, Cooper Shipman (No. 10 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) had raced up to third after starting the event in eighth. In the closing minutes, Golan started to pull away, as Papasavvas started to fall into the clutches of Shipman. As the white flag waved, Shipman pulled side by side with Papasavvas and the two engaged in a wheel-to-wheel battle for the entire final circuit. Golan led the field across the Yard of Bricks, while Papasavvas and Shipman drag raced all the way to the finish line behind him. Shipman crossed the line second with Papasavvas following in third, as just 0.216 seconds separated them.

“We had a good fight throughout the whole race,” said Golan atop the podium. “I have tons of respect for both [Papasavvas and Shipman]. I know I said it before, and I'll say it again: they race super clean. I'm really happy to come home with a win, especially in my team's hometown. I think this is the first weekend that anyone has won two races in a single weekend, so I’m super proud of all the Toney Driver Development guys.”

In the Masters Cup Class, Anthony Autiello (No. 07 Hope For The Warriors / Momentum Motorsports Ligier JS F3) survived to win a race of attrition. Whitney Strickland (No. 21 TF Companies / Hillenburg Motorsports Ligier JS F3) led the group down the grid for the standing start, but early contact took him out of contention. Kevin Janzen (No. 24 US Power Group/Data Center Solutions / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) inherited the class lead, but had his progress slowed when he had to come down pit lane for a mechanical failure just past the halfway mark. Meanwhile, Autiello survived all the way to the checkered flag, winning the Masters Cup Class.

“It was definitely slick out there, especially being on old tires,” said Autiello atop the podium. “It was unfortunate to see what happened to Whitney [Strickland] in Turn 1. As I kept watching the attrition in the race, I knew I just had to keep my head down and be smart about it. If I tried to race up in the front, I probably would’ve made a mistake. It was more about being smart, and I think that’s the best we could have done given the circumstances. I have to thank my daughter, Ava, for being here and making it a great Father’s Day.”

Brady Golan Scores FR Americas Race 1 Win at Indianapolis

Whitney Strickland Wins in Masters Cup

INDIANAPOLIS (June 20, 2026) – Brady Golan won Race 1 for Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) on Saturday afternoon. Leading from lights to checkers in an all-green race, the Toney Development Driver was the first to cross the bricks, claiming his third victory of the 2026 season.

Notes of Interest:

Brady Golan captured his third checkered flag of the 2026 season crossing the bricks to win FR Americas’ Race 1 at IMS.
Evagoras Papasavvas raced through the field to finish second after starting last on the grid due to a penalty issued after yesterday’s qualifying.
Cooper Shipman earned his fourth podium of 2026 finishing third in today’s event.
Fishers, Ind. native Luke Powers finished fifth in his debut race at his home track.
Three teams were represented on today’s podium with Toney Driver Development winning their third race of the season with Golan, Crosslink Motorsports finishing second with Papasavvas, and Kiwi Motorsport taking third with Shipman.
Whitney Strickland won in the Masters Cup class for the seventh time this season.

Brady Golan (No. 40 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) led the field to the standing start and darted to the lead as the lights went out. To his outside, Cooper Shipman (No. 10 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) came under immediate pressure from fourth-place starter Christian Bogle (No. 7 Pelican Energy Consultants / Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) who looked for a way by as they raced through Turn 1. The front five settled into line with Golan leading Shipman, Bogle, Luke Powers (No. 5 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) and Barrett Wolfe (No. 13 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) as they crossed the bricks to complete the first lap. Behind them, Evagoras Papasavvas (No. 71 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) had already reached the sixth position after lining up 15th on the grid.

Papasavvas continued his dash through the field picking off the competition one by one. He reached third before the clock passed halfway, but still had a gap to close before he could reach the gearbox of Shipman. Reeling him in lap by lap, Papasavvas was within striking distance with just four minutes left on the clock. Diving to the inside of Turn 1, Papasavvas completed the pass to overtake second. Quickly closing in on the checkered flag, Golan remained more than two seconds ahead and just outside of Papasavvas’ reach.

When the clock ran out, Golan led the field across the Yard of Bricks, while Papasavvas followed in second and Shipman in third.

“It was a good drive,” said Golan after climbing from the car. “I tried to check out on the start, and did a pretty good job of it. Then, it was just managing tires the whole way through. I’m really proud of these [Toney Driver Development] guys—I’m happy to be able to bring a hometown win for them. The No. 40 car has been amazing all year, so I have to thank them for that. Also thanks to everybody at Marina and Saber Management group.”

Following the race, the stewards reviewed contact between Bogle and Kevin Janzen (No. 24 US Power Group/Data Center Solutions / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3), ruling that Bogle made nose-to-tail contact and caused Janzen to spin. Bogle and his Toney Driver Development team appealed the decision, and as such, the results for Round 9 will remain provisional until the appeal is heard by the National Court of Appeals.

Whitney Strickland (No. 21 TF Companies / Hillenburg Motorsports Ligier JS F3) won the Masters Cup Class, crossing the bricks to claim his first FR Americas win at the Brickyard, while also taking his seventh win of the season. His race wasn’t without issue though, as the Hillenburg Motorsports driver stalled on the start and had to fight back through the pack to ultimately capture the class win.

“That was a pretty eventful race, actually,” said Strickland atop the podium. “This is my first series where I’ve done standing starts—I’ve been racing for decades, but these standing starts are killing me. I stalled out and then had to catch up to everybody. Thankfully I was able to get it done. I’m looking forward to tomorrow—I’m an early morning kind of guy. You know, us 50 year olds, we like to wake up early, so this is going to be good tomorrow.”

FR Americas will contest a doubleheader tomorrow with the lights going out at 8 a.m. and 12:10 p.m., respectively, for Races 2 and 3. The races will be streamed on YouTube.com/@RacingAmericaTV, with timing and scoring available on the Race Monitor app. Additional news and updates will be posted on the series’ Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Evagoras Papasavvas Wins at Home in FR Americas at Mid-Ohio

Whitney Strickland Wins Again in Masters Cup

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 14, 2026) – Evagoras Papasavvas earned his third Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) win during the final race of the weekend at his home circuit, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Notes of Interest:

Evagoras Papasavvas won his third FR Americas race of the season, taking the victory at his home track on Sunday afternoon. Just one month ago, Papasavvas graduated from Loveland High School in the suburbs of Cincinnati.
With a second-place finish, Brady Golan scored his fourth podium of 2026.
For the third time this season, Christian Bogle scored a top-three result. Bogle returned to FR Americas competition this year after running in the series part time in 2021.
Driving for Crosslink Motorsports with AJ Foyt Racing, Aidan Schuh (No. 14 Homes For Our Troops / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) finished fifth to earn his top result of the season.
Finishing eighth overall, Whitney Strickland won in the Masters Cup Class, earning points in the overall championship, while also leading the Master Cup standings.
Kevin Janzen earned his fifth podium of the season in the Masters Cup Class, and dedicated his efforts this weekend to the memory of his mother, who passed away earlier this week.
FR Americas continues to be recognized as a viable training ground for drivers looking to prepare for INDY NXT and INDYCAR due to the similarities in the cars and their handling. Papasavvas joined FR Americas in 2026 after running a partial INDY NXT season last year.

After setting the fastest lap in Race 1, Cooper Shipman (No. 10 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) led the field down the starting grid, while yesterday’s winner Kekai Hauanio (No. 29 N-E-Where Transport / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) lined up to his outside. When the lights went out, the two darted ahead, but made contact in Turn 2 slowing the progress of both. The exchange allowed third-place starter Papasavvas (No. 71 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) to immediately jump to the front of the field, and once there, he never looked back. During the 30-minute race, Papasavvas endured two restarts, including a two-lap dash to the checkered flag. Despite the pressure, he maintained his composure to take the checkered flag.

Brady Golan (No. 40 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) ran second throughout the competition, while Harbir Dass (No. 9 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) ran behind him in third. Crossing the finish line in that order, Solon, Ohio’s Dass fell to 12th on the final results due to a technical violation discovered during post-race tech. As a result, Golan’s Toney Driver Development teammate, Christian Bogle (No. 7 Pelican Energy Consultants / Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) advanced to third on the official results.

“This is absolutely unbelievable,” said Papasavvas after climbing from the car. “I was able to get the lead in the first lap with a clear track ahead of me. It was just focusing on myself and putting down qualifying lap after qualifying lap. The car felt really good; the Crosslink Motorsports team did an incredible job setting it up. Like I said yesterday, I couldn’t ask for a better team to be on. I’m just super proud and happy to do it here in front of my home crowd. My family and friends are here, my sister, Celia—she wanted a specific shoutout for this race, so, Celia there you go. I hope you’re happy. I’m just happy to do it in front of the home crowd.”

In the Masters Cup, Whitney Strickland (No. 21 TF Companies / Hillenburg Motorsports Ligier JS F3) and Kevin Janzen (No. 24 US Power Group/Data Center Solutions / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) once again battled it out on the track. When the checkered flag waved, Strickland edged Janzen by three seconds to win the class.

“First, I want to send my condolences to Kevin [Janzen] on the loss of his mother—I’ve been through that,” said Strickland. “As for today’s race, man, this is such a fun track. We're still trying to figure this car out. But, I feel like maybe later in the season, I might get close to these kids. I’m a couple of hundred yards behind them now, but man, I am hoping to pick a few of them off one day. Today was great fun. I had a good time racing with my teammate [Eric Wisniewski] there, so it was a good race.”

Caleb Campbell Returns to Top Step of the Podium in Race 2 at Mid-Ohio

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 14, 2026) – Caleb Campbell returned to the top step of the podium, winning his fourth Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) race of the season, but his first since the series’ opening weekend. Climbing through the field from a fourth-place starting position, Campbell never looked back once he took the lead, winning the race with nearly a three-second margin.

Notes of Interest:

After making its debut on July 2, 2016, F4 U.S. is celebrating its 10th Birthday this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course—the same circuit where the series contested its first round.
Caleb Campbell earned his fourth win of 2026 in Race 2 at Mid-Ohio, extending his lead in the championship standings. Whichever driver wins the 2026 F4 U.S. title will also win a scholarship to compete in FR Americas next season.
After winning Race 1 yesterday, Gastón Irazú returned to the podium with a runner-up finish in today’s event. The effort marked the sixth podium of the season for the Uruguayan driver.
Zach Fourie was scored third, marking his sixth podium of 2026. The South African continues to search for his first win in formula cars.
Ayden Kohut (No. 18 The Builders Source / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) scored a career-best finish with his fourth-place result.
In their debut weekend, Zain Khan (No. 10 USNG Racing Ligier JS F422) and US NG Racing scored a career-best eighth-place finish in Race 2 at Mid-Ohio.

Setting the fastest lap in yesterday’s race, Gastón Irazú (No. 27 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F422) led the field toward the waving green flag to kick off F4 U.S.’s final race of the Racing America at Mid-Ohio weekend. It was clear from the very first turn that today’s race was going to be both aggressive and competitive as the field raced three wide into Turn 1. With contact made, the safety car was deployed as crews worked to clear a car that was stuck on the circuit.

Irazú once again brought the field to the restart, but had his mirrors full of Campbell (No. 68 Steele Auto Group / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) who had climbed to second after the initial start. The Canadian used the restart as his opportunity to work around Irazú and overtook the lead on lap six. Behind them, Cole Medeiros (No. 77 MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) had settled into third while Zach Fourie (No. 15 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) worked through the field after dropping to sixth. After hard-fought battles with both Fernando Rivera (No. 16 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F422) and Clemente Huerta Raab (No. 17 Velox USA / Speed Factory Ligier JS F422), Fourie reached Medeiros’ rear wing. Unfortunately, Fourie’s forward progress was stalled with multiple reports of blocking throughout the 30-minute race. As they took the checkered flag, Campbell was the first to cross the line, while Irazú followed in second and Medeiros in third.

Following the race, the Stewards reviewed several reports of blocking by Medeiros on Fourie. Finding multiple incidents of dangerous blocking, forcing the driver off the circuit, and even causing Fourie to spin and lose positions, the Stewards issued a decision to move Medeiros to the last place in the classification. In addition, Medeiros will start Race 1 from pit lane during the series’ next round at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and will lose three grid positions in Race 2 as well.

As a result of the penalties, Fourie was scored third on the official results.

“Gastón [Irazú] was right on me and this was the craziest race I’ve had so far this year—but it was the most fun too,” said Campbell atop the podium. “[Going three-wide into Turn 1] was a bit sketchy. I had a good start and moved up to second after starting fourth, so I can’t complain. It worked out well for me. I’d like to thank my team Kiwi Motorsport—the car set up was really good this whole weekend—as well as my sponsors, the Steele Auto Group and everyone that supports me. Thank you to my family, friends, and everyone that came out and watched this weekend.”

Kekai Hauanio Scores First FR Americas Win at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course

Whitney Strickland Wins in Masters Cup

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 14, 2026) – Kekai Hauanio scored his first-career victory in Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) during Saturday’s Race 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In a tight race with the top three running nose to tail nearly the entire 30 minutes, Hauanio was able to hold off his Crosslink Motorsports teammate to claim his first win in the season’s seventh round.

Notes of Interest:

With his Race 1 victory, Kekai Hauanio earned his first-career win in FR Americas. The victory comes at the same track where Hauanio won two Ligier Junior Formula Championship races in 2024.
Loveland, Ohio’s Evagoras Papasavvas finished second in front of his home crowd. It was his fourth podium of the season, as the Crosslink Motorsports driver currently leads the championship point standings.
Finishing third, Brady Golan captured his third podium of 2026.
In the Masters Cup class, Whitney Strickland earned his fifth win of the season.

Polesitter Brady Golan (No. 40 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) led the field down the starting grid, but on the first lap it was Hauanio (No. 29 N-E-Where Transport / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) who had the pace to climb from his third-place starting position all the way to the race lead. Evagoras Papasavvas (No. 71 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) also made his way around Golan during the opening lap, and from there the three ran nose to tail the entire race with less than a second separating them.

A mid-race safety car gave Papasavvas and Golan one last shot at Hauanio, but with a perfect launch, Hauanio crossed the line to restart the race with nearly a half-second lead. Behind him, Golan briefly pulled up to challenge Papasavvas, but the Cypriot American was able to hold him off all the way to the checkered flag.

As they crossed the line it was Hauanio, followed by Papasavvas and Golan, with Cooper Shipman (No. 10 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) and Christian Bogle (No. 7 Pelican Energy Consultants / Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) rounding out the top five.

“I’ve been waiting for this one all season,” said Hauanio after climbing from the car. “It feels really good to do it here at Mid-Ohio; this has always been my favorite track. I’ve had a lot of success here over the years and it feels great to be able to pull it off today. It was a really good race. I just put my head down and tried to go forward—I’d look in the mirror maybe once a lap just to see where [Evagoras] was, and then I just kept going. The car was hooked up, thanks to the Crosslink Motorsports crew. I also have to thank my grandfather for always supporting me, N-E-Where Transport, and [Team Owner] Gill Kaszuba—all of them play a big part in this. I can’t wait for [Race 2]; hopefully we can come back and get another one.”

“It’s honestly been a pretty rough weekend—we had a rig break down, so we had to tow our cars and trailers and everything to get here,” explained Strickland atop the podium. “I’m just glad to get up here and be able to race. It was a 19-hour drive from Houston pulling the trailer, so I’m glad we were able to finish it off with a win today. Thanks to the Hillenburg Motorsports crew, Darryl, Danny and everybody on the team. The car was running really good today.”

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 13, 2026) – Edward Kennedy and Beckham Jacir claimed Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) victories in Mid-Ohio’s Race 1 on Saturday. Kennedy’s dash through the field in the JFC Gen. 2 Class, paired with Jacir’s five-second lead in the JFC Gen. 1 Class clearly demonstrated the dominance of both drivers.

Notes of Interest:

Edward Kennedy took the Race 1 victory in the Ligier JFC Gen. 2 Class at Mid-Ohio to claim his fourth win of season.
Jack Speth retained the Ligier JFC Gen. 2 Class championship points lead with a runner-up finish, and holds a 22-point advantage following Race 1.

With a great jump off the block, Jacir immediately took control of the race leaving Bainotti in his wake. In fact, the Champagne Racing driver had opened up more than a five-second gap before the Gen. 2 cars started to close in. Jacir continued to lead as the race neared the halfway point, but a safety car period bunched the field back up, giving the Gen. 2 cars another run at the overall race lead. With them completing the overtake when the race restarted, Jacir turned his focus to the Gen. 1 competition, steadily pulling away from the other cars in his class and taking the checkered flag with a 5.089-second advantage.

In the Ligier JFC Gen. 2 class, Kennedy (No. 30 MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) led the group down the starting grid, but a stall when the lights went out allowed Jack Speth (No. 07 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) to take the early lead. Falling more than 12 seconds behind after the stall, Kennedy kept his focus forward and steadily chipped away at the gap while climbing through the field. Only 0.134-seconds behind Speth at the halfway mark, Kennedy completed the pass on Speth just before the safety car period, and then used the restart to overtake Jacir for the overall lead.

When the checkered flag waved, it was Kennedy and Speth, followed by Jacir, Bainotti and AJ Abdullah (No. 21 Freedom Detox / Grid State Digital / Berg Racing Ligier JS F4).

“It was a pretty good race for us,” said Jacir atop the podium. “The car was on rails the whole race—really, the whole weekend. We got a good start on used tires. I think we were the only ones on used tires in the front, so it was just building into that and having consistent laps. I was almost able to get the overall win—I was really hoping for that, but it’s all good. I can’t thank the team enough for giving me such an amazing car. All the guys at Champagne Racing are working nonstop, and working really well on the car. I also have to thank all my sponsors.”

“The race was really good,” Kennedy “The car was great. I just had a little rookie mistake on the start by stalling it, but we came back strong, so it was all good. Speth had really great pace and I was a little scared, but I ended up on top. I’d like to thank the whole MLT crew, my physical trainers and everyone for their support.”

Ligier JFC will contest a doubleheader tomorrow, as the lights go out at 9:15 a.m. and 2:05 p.m. ET for Races 2 and 3, respectively. Live timing and scoring is available on the Race Monitor app, with additional news and updates posted on the series’ Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 13, 2026) – Gastón Irazú led from the wave of the green all the way to the checkered during Formula 4 United States Championship’s (F4 U.S.) Race 1 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Carrying the momentum of his Road America sweep into this weekend‘s round, the Uruguayan driver locked in his third-consecutive win in the series.

Notes of Interest:

Caleb Campbell continues his streak with a second-place finish, marking his sixth podium of the season and extending his championship lead.
Cole Medeiros tied his career-best finish with his second podium of 2026.
After racing in the inaugural F4 U.S. race at Mid-Ohio in 2016, Austin Kaszuba (No. 34 Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F422) returned to the field today to finish sixth for Crosslink Motorsports.
After making its debut on July 2, 2016, F4 U.S. is celebrating its 10th Birthday this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course—the same circuit where the series contested its first round.

Leading the field to the green as the polesitter, Irazú (No. 27 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F422) faced an early challenge from second-place starter Caleb Campbell (No. 68 Steele Auto Group / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422), but keeping a steady focus and consistent lap times, the Uruguayan was able to open a gap as the laps ticked by. As the race passed its halfway point, his two-second advantage was erased by a full-course caution, but the reigning Ligier JFC champion once again pulled away after the restart.

One of the best drives of the day came from Cole Medeiros (No. 77 MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422), who had to roll off seventh after a five-spot grid penalty issued during qualifying. The MLT Motorsports driver had already reached the third position before the halfway point, but couldn’t complete the pass on Campbell before the checkered flag waved.
