Come wet conditions or dry, Frenchman Nico Jamin has his rivals in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda covered just now. Two weeks after putting on a driving clinic in atrocious conditions at Barber Motorsports Park, the 19-year-old Frenchman showed he’s just as adept in the dry, qualifying his Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing Van Diemen-Mazda on the pole this morning at the Indianapolis Grand Prix Circuit and then winning a thrill-a-minute race this afternoon.
“Starting – or restarting – from the front is actually the worst place to be here! I kept my lead at the start, even though it was very tight, but on the restart I ended up third,” stated Jamin. “I battled very hard with Jake, but it was nice and clean and I appreciate that. I got by him but Aaron got a big gap on me. I was turning good lap times but he was way too far out. The next caution helped me, because I had a good restart. Aaron and I went deep, but I think Jake went the deepest of all of us! He went straight and we couldn’t turn. Aaron went on the grass and Anthony Martin got by me, so I was third. I made a pass on him and got by Jake on the last lap.”
