Lexington, Ohio – The 2021 Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires championships will draw to a close this weekend as the teams head to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the season finale. After a month long break on the race calendar, a double race weekend is in store for both the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship and the Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires as they return to the 2.258-mile, 13 turn road course for the second time this season.
Turn 3 Motorsport is coming off one of their strongest events of the season at New Jersey Motorsports Park where the team achieved a breakthrough podium finish with USF2000 driver Josh Green as well as nearly landing on the podium with Indy Pro 2000 driver James Roe for the second time this year. With four more races to go, the team is looking to keep their momentum going and finish the year with more top-level accolades to their name.
“I’m really looking forward to Mid-Ohio this weekend,” said James Roe. “We have been quite strong in the last part of the season and had good speed at Mid-Ohio during the summer, so I am hoping we can tie everything together and finish the year on a successful note.”

“We’re ready to go for this weekend at Mid-Ohio,” said Team Owner Peter Dempsey. “We’re coming off a strong weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park and looking forward to carrying that momentum into the last race weekend. We’ve improved as a team since the last time we were at Mid-Ohio in July, and I’m expecting the team and drivers to perform at their best. Hopefully we can finish out the season strong and carry that propulsion into next season.”
