2018 U.S. F2000 National Championship


The 2018 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda was the ninth season – since its revival in 2010 – of the U.S. F2000 National Championship, an open wheel auto racing series that is the first step in INDYCAR's Road to Indy ladder, operated by Andersen Promotions.
American Kyle Kirkwood driving for Cape Motorsports in a single-car effort dominated the championship, winning twelve of the fourteen races. The only other driver to win was two consecutive races won by former Indy Lights competitor Alexandre Baron for Swan-RJB Motorsports early in the season. Baron left the series after seven races. Swede Rasmus Lindh finished well back in second place driving for Pabst Racing who won the team championship in a close battle. Lindh didn't capture a second place finish until the final race of the season. Just behind Lindh were Brazilians Lucas Kohl and Igor Fraga. Fourteen drivers competed in all fourteen races.
