Michael d’Orlando wins USF Pro 2000 Race No. 1 at Road America, Results

Michael d’Orlando celebrates his first win via USF Pro 2000

Michael d’Orlando scored his first win in USF Pro 2000 holding off points leader Myles Rowe.

The 2022 USF 2000 champion, d’Orlando began the race on the pole but the race would be hampered by multiple cautions which aided in him losing the lead to Rowe after going wide. Fortunately for d’Orlando, Rowe would make a similar mistake to give him the lead back.

“It was fun but it was a long one as I was shuffled back at the beginning. Myles ended up having a great start. I don’t know how that happened but he worked his way up from fourth to P2 and then by me at the restart. I just went a little deep in Turn Five. From there, I just had to work my way back restart after restart. It was a little tough because the guys behind me were quite ruthless with their moves and going off track, but I’m super proud. Turn 3 and myself put that #1 Priority car on top not just figuratively but literally. That thing was so quick. First win of the year and I am so happy. I feel like my misfortune streak is finally over. It was a great race and I am so happy. It was great to get my first win in USF Pro 2000 here at Road America.”

The USF Pro 2000 Series will complete Race No. 2 on Sunday June 18 at 9:00 am ET. Fans hoping to watch the race can do on their website or YouTube.
