Ben Searcy, 18- Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Current Season: Ben just completed his freshman year in the F2000 Championship, finishing fourth overall. He led all rookies, earning the prestigious “Rookie of the Year” honor. He finished the season with 3 wins and 4 podiums. His inaugural win came on a rain soaked VIR circuit.
Previous Experience:
- Karting
- Skip Barber Regional
- (2007-2008) Skip Barber National (limited events)
Why He Would Be A Good Selection: Ben always impressed me in karts. This year, as noted above, he made the transition to the F2000 Championship. He turned-a-lot-of heads by winning his first-ever race in a F2000 car, showcasing his raw speed. This was clearly a learning year for Ben, but if he continues to develop like he has been… I have high hopes for his career. He adapts to a car very quickly and if he is chosen to represent Team USA, I fully expect him to be fast right out of the box.
