2019 U.S. F2000 National Championship


The 2019 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship was the tenth 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 Braden Eves of Cape Motorsports won the championship in a tightly contested points race by winning the final race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca over New Zealander Hunter McElrea of Pabst Racing. Eves won six times with two other podium finishes while McElrea, who had won the Road to Indy Shootout to earn his place on the U.S. F2000 grid, won four times with eight other podiums. Danish driver Christian Rasmussen won three races and finished tied for the third most points with American Colin Kaminsky. Rasmussen won third by virtue of Kaminsky not capturing any race wins. Darren Keane won one race and finished fifth in the championship. Australian Cameron Shields, who ended his championship campaign after the Toronto round, was the sole other race winner on the season.
Pabst Racing won its third straight team championship despite their top driver McElrea losing out on the drivers' championship.
