Nico Jamin vaulted into the lead of the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda championship standings following convincing victories on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

Jamin, from Rouen, France, started from the pole position in the second race and drove away from the field to secure a weekend sweep of the Mazda USF2000 Grand Prix of Indianapolis for himself and the four-time defending champion team Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing.

Teammate Aaron Telitz finished second, while Anthony Martin took third for Indianapolis-based John Cummiskey Racing as the best-placed rookie.

In the first race, Jamin cemented the victory with a last-lap pass of Jake Eidson, who had to be content with second for Pabst Racing. Telitz completed the podium after leading for much of the 30-minute race.

Jamin's third consecutive win -- and fourth of the season – gives him an 18-point lead over Eidson at the midway point of the 16-race season.

“From the start of the season, this was the race I wanted to win. My dream was to win here, to be the fourth Frenchman to win here (after Jules Goux 1913, Rene Thomas 1914 and Simon Pagenaud 2014).To get two poles and two wins here is just awesome,” Jamin said.

The Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda will return to action at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis for the Freedom 75, part of the #MRTI FreedomFest weekend during the lead-up to the 99th Indianapolis 500.
