Simpson started race two in pole position but fell early to Ernie Francis Jr on the first lap.

The champion-elect was able to take back the lead on lap four and didn't look back, finishing ahead of Varun Choksey and wildcard Nick Persing.

"It was an awesome race," said Simpson.

"We didn’t have the greatest start, Ernie pulled away, but after the first lap, we had an amazing pace for the rest of the race and caught back up to him and drove away from everyone else."

"I was able to take it easy towards the end and save tires."

"It was just a perfect race."

Race three made it seven victories for Simpson on his way to claiming the championship, leading from lights to flag in a victory lap for his first full season in FR Americas.

"It was a tough race," said Simpson

"Dylan [Tavella] was on me the entire time and I just couldn’t pull a gap."

"Every time I tried, I just overheated the tires and would fall back even more"

"It was just such a good race and awesome to have that battle at the end."

"I’d like to thank God, the whole team, all my sponsors and my family."

Simpson had time to reflect on his championship victory after the race.

"This year has been a lot of fun."

"I’ve learned a lot about downforce cars and higher horsepower cars running FR Americas."

"Higher downforce is a big part of racing in IndyCar, F1 and many other series, so it’s always important to know how to race with downforce."

"It’s been great to learn everything that I have with FR Americas."

"It’s been an incredible season, and it’s awesome to come home with the championship."

Tavella finished second after challenging throughout the race on his fresher tyres.

Australian Joshua Car sealed his second-place finish in the championship with third in the final race.

"It was a really fun race," said Car after his ninth podium of the season.

"The team gave me a great car for the final round, and we managed to go through the field early on with a lot of passing, which was a lot of fun."

"We had great speed in the Crosslink Coatings machine."

"Thank you to the whole team and all my supporters for coming out."

"I love having everyone around, so thank you so much."
