After a podium in the opening race of the season, Garcia took his maiden win in race two at St. Petersburg. He left the weekend leading the points standings, as race one winner Alessandro de Tullio crashed in race two. Garcia followed this up with two pole positions and another win in NOLA, and led the standings with a sixteen-point gap to de Tullio. Garcia extended his championship lead with a podium at Indianapolis, and went on to win two races of the three races during the Road America round. Garcia won both races at the Mid-Ohio round, claiming 66 points, helping Pabst Racing win the teams' championship. By winning the first race in Toronto, Garcia clinched the drivers' championship with three races to spare.
