VICTOR CARBONE WINS RACE 1 AT ROAD AMERICA
Elkhart Lake, WI - "The car felt great, I had a great start and then got by Scarallo", said Carbone, who stretched his lead to nearly four seconds over Erickson in the 12 ap race. "Daniel didn't make it easy but I got around him when he made a mistake in turn 14. The car was just amazing and we worked up the gap and broke the draft."
JONATHON SCARALLO TAKES RACE 2 AT ROAD AMERICA
Elkhart Lake, WI - "I didn't get the best start and Erickson was able to get around me along with (Cole) Morgan," said Scarallo, who survived a post-race protest that he had passed Erickson under a standing yellow. Video evidence showed he had made the pass well before the yellow flag.

"By the end of lap two I knew I had a fast car that could win so I wanted to be smart about it. We were battling for the lead and then Morgan disappeared so it was just Erickson and me."
"He was driving very defensively so I just threw the car to the inside and then put down two flying laps," continued Scarallo, an aspiring young American driver.

"I got a great start and was able to hold off Carbone," said Erickson. "Midway through the race the car started to go away on the low speed corners and that's when he caught me. But the car was great through the inner loop so I was able to hold him off. The last couple laps we were side by side down the back straight and I was defending on the inside. It was great to race with him."

The young Brazilian, driving for Alegra Motorsports, took the lead back two laps later going into turn one and never looked back to take the win over Jonathan Scarallo and Phil Lombardi.

Lexington, OH – Rookie Chris Livengood stamped his mark on Mid-Ohio by pacing the first official F2000 practice session of the weekend with a lap of 1:23.998, two tenths under the existing track record set last year. Yesterday’s fastest driver during testing, Rob Nicholas, was second fastest for K-Fast Autosport followed by championship points leader Victor Carbone.
Lexington, OH – The F2000 Championship Series field enjoyed three and a half hours of twilight testing on Thursday evening at Mid-Ohio, ahead of this weekend’s finale to the national championship. Many teams spent the session on old tires, just familiarizing themselves with the track before official practice begins tomorrow, Friday September 3. Masters Class veteran Rob Nicholas set the fastest time at 1:24.07, under the existing track record, in his first F2000 race since Watkins Glen in July.
New York, NY – One double-header event remains as the F2000 Championship Series heads to Mid-Ohio this weekend to decide the 2010 championship as the summer swing draws to a close. Thirty cars are entered and 17-year old sophomore driver Victor Carbone has been in control of the standings the entire way.
Hello Everybody!
I must confess that Road America was a challenging event. The mixture of long straights and arrhythmic turns makes for a track that requires a different kind of race craft. It requires Gilles Villeneuve-like attachments for passing and Alain Prost-like precision to throw down fast laps. In contrast to those less draft dependent tracks, Elkhart allows the less superior to dig their claws into your rear wing and put up a fight where they normally would fall behind. Alas, this is what you deal with and as a result blocking is something that becomes a reality. 
Best Race Ever?
Elkhart Lake, WI – Jonathan Scarallo survived an epic drafting battle between four cars and then took the lead with two laps to go and gapped Daniel Erickson to take his first career F2000 victory in style for R-Sport at Road America. Erickson came home second for Primus Racing/Quantum Mechanics with Keith McCrone, Scarallo’s R-Sport teammate, finishing third and taking the Masters Class win.
Elkhart Lake, WI – Jonathan Scarallo laid down a lap more than four-tenths clear of anyone else to take pole for the second F2000 race of the weekend at Road America, round 12 of the 2010 season. Scarallo appeared to be sending a message to the rest of the paddock in the #22 Van Diemen. After starting on the outside of the front row yesterday, the R-Sport driver had his sights set on taking the lead away from championship leader Victor Carbone before a broken fourth gear ended his day. A reverse front row from yesterday will see Daniel Erickson line up alongside Scarallo.
Elkhart Lake, WI – Championship points leader Victor Carbone snuck around Jonathan Scarallo on the start and then passed Daniel Erickson for the lead to go onto victory in the first F2000 race of the weekend at Road America. The Brazilian wasted no time in taking the top spot early in the race and then breaking the draft to take his sixth win of the season in round 11 at Road America over Daniel Erickson and Stevan McAleer.
Elkhart Lake, WI – Daniel Erickson annihilated the F2000 track record at Road America en route to pole position for race one of the weekend with a flying lap of 2:15.271, nearly three tenths up on the record. Jonathan Scarallo was just a tenth off the Australian rookie and will line up second as the young American was the fastest driver during Friday practice in his R-Sport Van Diemen. Championship points leader Victor Carbone was a solid third ahead of Chris Livengood and Scarallo’s R-Sport teammate, Keith McCrone.
