USF Pro Championships Celebration


 

Jeffers, Garzon and Pasiewicz Claim Career Enhancement Scholarships


 

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. – The USF Pro Championships Celebration took place last night at The Osthoff Resort & Spa at Elkhart Lake, Wis. All three champions – in USF Pro 2000, USF2000 and USF Juniors – from the world-renowned open-wheel driver development program were honored at the traditional end-of-season banquet, joined by well over 200 drivers, team members, sponsors and guests.


 

The banquet capped another banner year of USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire competition, comprising 52 races and attracting a total of 92 drivers representing 21 different nationalities.


 

None of the championships had been decided prior to the stand-alone USF Pro Championships Grand Prix of Road America. A total of nine races were held on Friday and Saturday at the majestic Road America venue to determine the final championship positions and how more than $1.3 million in scholarships and awards would be distributed.


 

Exclusive Autosport’s Jack Jeffers, from San Antonio, Texas, was the biggest winner. Jeffers earned a scholarship valued at over $593,000 as the USF Pro 2000 champion to advance onto the next step of the ladder, INDY NXT, in 2027. He became the fifth driver to secure consecutive championships in USF2000 and USF Pro 2000, including current NTT INDYCAR SERIES stars Kyle Kirkwood and Christian Rasmussen.


 

Jeffers had been locked in battle throughout the 18-race campaign with Florida-based Brazilian Leonardo Escorpioni, who had claimed the USF Juniors crown in 2025. Fortunes had ebbed and flowed between the two top protagonists – at least until this weekend, when Jeffers swept to victory in all three races.


 

The USF2000 championship also went down to the wire. DEForce Racing’s Sebastian Garzon, from Neiva, Colombia, had led the point standings ever since winning the opening race on the Streets of St. Petersburg, Fla., from the pole in February, but had been unable to shake off the attentions of Brad Majman, from Melbourne, Australia.


 

The pair were separated by just 13 points entering the tripleheader finale. And the momentum seemed to favor Majman, who had won the most recent race and was heading to his Pabst Racing team’s home race at Road America, where he had won once and taken two pole positions earlier in the summer.


 

Tensions were heightened when the pair clashed during the opening race on Friday. Both rejoined the fray a lap down, and while Garzon eventually finished ahead of his rival, Majman was able to establish a new race lap record. Consequently, they earned the same number of points, which meant the championship would remain undecided until the final checkered flag.


 

Consistent pace on Saturday ultimately saw Garzon earn a third and a fourth, which was more than enough to clinch the title and a scholarship valued at $409,816 to progress up to USF Pro 2000 next year.


 

The only championship which was close to being decided at the beginning of the week was in USF Juniors. Former top karter Karol Pasiewicz, from Lodz, Poland, had eked out a commanding lead as the season had unfolded, and required only a total of 19 points – equivalent to one fourth-place finish – to secure his first car racing title. He accomplished that quite comfortably on Friday afternoon with a second-place finish after leading most laps and also recording the fastest lap of the race. Job done.


 

With the pressure off and a scholarship valued at $251,516 to advance to USF2000 in 2027 already in his pocket, Pasiewicz and the single-car Olivia Racing team let loose in the final two races on Saturday. Their final tally included six wins, seven poles, four fastest race laps and no fewer than a dozen podium finishes from the total of 16 races.


 

Attention now shifts toward a new season in 2027, preparations for which will ramp up very soon at the traditional USF Pro Fall Combine Open Test at the Indianapolis Grand Prix road course in Speedway, Ind., on October 17/18.
