TJ Speed is set to take on the second event weekend of the 2025 USF Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire this weekend at NOLA Motorsports Park. Returning with their full three-driver lineup of Jace Denmark, Ariel Elkin, and Sebastian Manson, the trio is looking for more after a promising season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg in early March as they are set to tackle rounds three, four, and five this weekend.
At St. Pete, Denmark kicked off the year with an eighth-place finish in race one and backed it up with another strong P6 result in race two. Manson qualified well for race one and ran inside the top-five before late race issues relegated him down the running order while Elkin was involved in an incident that sidelined him for the remainder of the weekend. Manson returned Sunday and had a valiant driver crossing the line in P8, putting a pair of TJ Speed drivers inside the top-ten.
“St. Pete gave us a solid foundation, and now we’re looking forward to seeing what our guys can do on a permanent road course like NOLA,” explained Team Manager Tim Neff. “We’ve got a great group of drivers who are motivated to push each other forward, and I think we’ll see even stronger results this weekend. We had a decent test at NOLA a few weeks ago, and an even better one at Barber Motorsports Park a few weeks later so we are excited about our next wheel-to-wheel action.”
The team begins the weekend with a full day of testing on Thursday, followed by official practice and qualifying on Friday afternoon. The triple-header weekend will feature qualifying two Saturday morning and races on both Saturday and Sunday, providing plenty of opportunity for TJ Speed to rack up points early in the championship chase.
