Sundaramoorthy on the podium

LEXINGTON, OH - July 4, 2021 - After a pair of top-ten’s at Road America a couple of weeks ago, Yuven Sundaramoorthy came into this weekend’s tripleheader looking to rack up Championship points. With a mid-pack qualifying effort here at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the young USF2000 driver had his work cut out for him.

The first two races yielded only one top-ten, as the races proved challenging on the famed road course that’s notoriously difficult for passing. But the third race on Sunday saw the former championship points leader charge his way from 13th into a fierce battle for third.

The 18-year-old claimed a valuable championship point for establishing the fastest lap of the race on the 20th and final lap, and later was awarded the final podium position after driver Round-Garrido was adjudged to have exceeded the limits of defensive driving. Sundaramoorthy also claimed the Tilton Hard Charger Award and sits third in the Championship standings.

Just two race weekends and five races remain on the 2021 USF2000 schedule, which will take a break until the triple-header at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, N.J., on August 28-29.
