Michael d’Orlando won the first of two races for the USF Pro 2000 Series at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
The 2022 USF 2000 champion, d’Orlando would begin the race on the pole. An incident at the start of the race would leave Kiko Porto and Jordan Missig out while the cars of Jonathan Browne and Francsco Pizzi were damaged. Salvador de Alba would be given a drive though penalty for contact with Porto on the opening lap.
Reece Ushijima was running in fourth when he went off the track to bring out the caution again and erase d’Orlando’s lead which had grown to over a second. During the caution rain would begin to fall on the track as the race moved past the halfway point. As the cars took lap 18 the red flag was displayed with teams being told to place wet tires on.
