Vancouver, BC – Scott Hargrove is excited to announce that he will be racing in the 2014 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires for Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing. The reigning Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda champion is delighted to be a part of the team’s new Pro Mazda program.
Hargrove, 19, drove for Cape Motorsports in the 2013 USF2000 Championship and claimed six pole positions (including five straight), two track records and four wins, earning him a scholarship package from Mazda to advance to Pro Mazda competition this season.
“Throughout 2013 we talked about moving up to Pro Mazda as a team and when Dominic and Nicholas (Cape) decided that they would go ahead with the program, I was on board right away,” said Hargrove. “Keeping the family together for another year is extremely exciting. Last season was my most successful and most fun year to date, and I can’t wait to continue that into 2014 with Mazda’s amazing support. The Mazda Road to Indy is a great program and I want to thank Mazda, Cooper Tires, Andersen Promotions and everyone involved. I’m excited to take the next step on the ladder.”
Hargrove's first Pro Mazda Championship race will be on the streets of St. Petersburg on March 29.
In addition to being a MAZDASPEED Development Driver in 2014, Hargrove is delighted to continue with his long-time sponsors Analytic Systems, RaceEnergy and Metal Action Machining.
