Last month, we had an exciting weekend at Portland International Raceway to wrap up the 2024 USF Pro Championships race season. The ongoing support from the Team USA Scholarship made it all possible, and I am particularly grateful for their help in completing the season and gearing up for the USF2000 championship in 2025. The weekend kicked off with the Grand Prix of Portland Kickoff Party, where I met race fans and shared my experiences of the track. Our VRD Racing team showed promising pace during practice sessions and we were consistently in the top five. Qualifying went well, securing second on the grid for the first race and pole position for the second race. Despite challenges in the first race due to rain, I managed to secure a podium finish in the second race and set the fastest lap time of the weekend. The third race was chaotic but I finished fourth and had the incredible opportunity to shadow Bryan Herta and the Andretti crew on Sunday, learning about their operations and strategies.
