From IndyCar
For the first time since the inception of the Mazda Road to Indy in 2010, all races for the three series -- Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship and Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship - will be run in conjunction with IndyCar events in 2014.
Additional schedule highlights include doubleheader rounds for Indy Lights at all road courses. A 40-minute sprint race will be held on Saturday and a 60-minute feature will be contested on Sunday. Pro Mazda will feature standing starts at all street circuits and USF2000 will again host a tripleheader round.
The Mazda Road to Indy provides a scholarship package at each level for drivers to advance to the next step on the ladder. Recently crowned Indy Lights champion Sage Karam, 18, will receive up to $1 million in prizes and awards to aid his ascent to the IndyCar Series. Karam was the 2010 USF2000 champion and finished third in Pro Mazda last year.
Matthew Brabham, 19, secured more than $636,000 as the 2013 Pro Mazda champion and will advance to Indy Lights next season with Andretti Autosport. Brabham, the 2012 USF2000 champion, is the first driver to advance through all levels of the Mazda Road to Indy in succession.
After contesting a partial season last year, Scott Hargrove, 18, secured this year's USF2000 title and scholarship package of more than $383,000 to advance to Pro Mazda in 2014.
