Sundaramoorthy near perfect in Indy USF2000 double

Yuven Sundaramoorthy is taking full advantage of his three years of experience in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship – the first rung of the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires open-wheel development ladder. After claiming his first victory in the season-opening race at Barber Motorsports Park last month, Sundaramoorthy, of Delafield, Wis., enjoyed a sensational day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Grand Prix road course to win both of the first two legs of this week’s USF2000 Grand Prix of Indianapolis Presented by Cooper Tires triple-header for Pabst Racing.

“It’s so fun to race here!” said Sundaramoorthy (No. 22 S team Motorsports-Pabst Racing). “This is the same podium where I won my first car race four years ago, so it feels great to take two wins today. For both races, all I kept saying to myself for the last few laps was ‘don’t throw it away!’ It’s hard being out in front like that – when I’m leading, I’m more nervous. When I’m second, I have someone to chase and I’m focusing forward. When you’re leading, you have to know how much to push without going over the edge.
