Max Taylor displayed remarkable composure amidst challenging conditions on Friday, securing a well-deserved victory for VRD Racing in the first leg of the Tatuus Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio tripleheader. Taylor’s win elevated him to third place in the USF2000 Presented by Continental Tire standings, marking his third victory of the season. Despite a spin, championship leader Max Garcia finished second for Pabst Racing, while Nicolas Giaffone clinched third for DEForce Racing. Evagoras Papasavvas of Jay Howard Driver Development set the pace early on, earning his first Continental Tire Pole Award of the season. Persistent rain altered track conditions, leading to several cautions, but Taylor’s strong performance and strategic driving secured him the win. The USF2000 competitors will return for two more races on Saturday and Sunday in their tripleheader weekend at Mid-Ohio.
