Series promoters Andersen Promotions have unveiled the sixteen-race calendar for the new junior series, which is billed as a new entry-level category before the Road to Indy.
"Our debut schedule for USF Juniors constitutes a blend of some of the finest road courses in North America which will provide great training for our entry level drivers," said Dan Andersen, Owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions.
"We designed our calendar with USF2000 teams in mind, providing teams who plan to compete in both programs the ability to manage each series with common staff."
"All will be two-day race events with five of the six venues hosting a pre-event test day the day before the start of official track activity."
The USF Juniors Presented by Cooper Tires will race on the support bill at IndyCar, NASCAR, and USAC events, with drivers competing for a prize package worth more than $325,000 USD.
The prize includes a scholarship for the USF2000 series, the first step on the official Road To Indy.
"The 2022 schedule coupled with our prize money and scholarship package, training programs, affordable budgets and commitment to bringing a Road to Indy level of professionalism and organization to a driver’s first serious championship choice are the foundation of this new series."
"We look forward to several more announcements as this program continues to take shape in preparation for our first races in April."
