LEXINGTON, Ohio – Turn 3 Motorsport is set for Rounds 10 and 11 of USF Pro 2000 Presented by Cooper Tires this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The four car program—made up of drivers Michael d’Orlando, Jonathan Browne, Louka St-Jean and Jackson Lee will run two 30-lap races on Saturday on the 2.258-mile, 13-turn road course as part of the popular NTT INDYCAR SERIES Grand Prix event.
Turn 3 Motorsport has claimed victory on the Ohio circuit in previous years, winning both the final USF2000 and USF Pro 2000 races at the end of 2021 and earning a top-five result last year. Coming into the weekend with a win from d’Orlando and a podium from Browne at the previous round at Road America, the team looks to carry that momentum forward into the Cooper Tires Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio.

“I’m ecstatic to be going to Mid-Ohio this weekend. I know Turn 3 and I have a quick car. I’ve always had success at Mid-Ohio; it’s such a driver’s track. Let’s go get another win on this Fourth of July weekend!”
#2 Jonathan Browne
JB Racing / Motorsport Ireland / CRPS Awareness
“Mid-Ohio comes just after the halfway point in the season. The last couple of races have been good to me, so I’ll be looking to carry this run of form forward into the weekend. Qualifying well will be important around here as passing opportunities aren’t the same as Road America. I’m ready to see what we’ve got!”
#3 Louka St-Jean
Planiform / Proservin Construction / Cosme Inc. / Acier Marquis / JIT Laser / Alliance Contrôle / TLA Architectes
“Mid-Ohio is a really nice track. I had a very good test here with Turn 3 Motorsport ahead of the weekend, so I’m ready to go. I’m looking forward to the race and seeing what our team can do!”
#47 Jackson Lee
IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center / Race for RP / Prime 47 / Browning Chapman
“After getting collected in crashes in both races at Road America, I’m grateful for another opportunity this weekend at Mid-Ohio. Thank you to our existing partners with some extra gratitude to Browning Chapman, the UPS Store in Plainfield, and supporters of Race for RP, End Lung Cancer Now and the Fighting Blindness Foundation for keeping me on track. Also, thank you to Turn 3 Motorsport for quickly getting my car repaired and making sure we are ready to race. I have had some success at Mid-Ohio with wins in two lower categories and a fastest race lap in USF2000, so I’m hoping to capitalize on the opportunity.”
Pre-event testing will take place today with two on track sessions. Tomorrow will host an official practice and two qualifying sessions with both races taking place on Saturday.
