USF2000: Agren joins John Cummiskey Racing

John Cummiskey Racing announced that Ayla Agren will drive the #33 Energima JCR entry for the 2016 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda.

Following a strong debut season in the 2015 USF2000 Championship featuring 11 top-10 finishes in 16 races, 2014 SCCA F1600 champion Agren has made the move to join the team which amassed 16 top-five finishes out of 20 starts between its two drivers in 2015.

"I am really excited about being a part of John Cummiskey Racing for the 2016 season,” said Agren. “They showed last year what they are capable of, and what they did as a one-car team (most of the season) was very impressive. I am really pumped to get more knowledge and develop further as a driver, and I believe as a second year driver on the Mazda Road to Indy ladder in the Cooper Tires USF2000 category that we together can show good results. But most of all I can't wait for the season to start and to get back behind the wheel."

"I’m very happy to have Ayla race with us in 2016,” said Cummiskey. “She's a past champion and race winner so she knows how to win and we're looking forward to getting her on the podium in USF2000. She has faced many of these competitors before and knows how to get the job done. 2016 will be our best year yet on the Mazda Road to Indy as we have a full season under us already."

The 2016 USF2000 season kicks off with the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg during the weekend of March 11-13.
