Liam McNeilly of Jay Howard Driver Development dominated the second USF Juniors race at the Tatuus Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio, closing the gap to points leader Max Taylor in the battle for a valuable scholarship.

Despite Wheldon’s disappointment, he set a new lap record and gained valuable championship points. Patricio Gonzalez earned the Tilton Hard Charger Award, while Jay Howard received the PFC Award as the winning car owner.
