Louis Foster and Reece Gold each scored a clear victory and a second-place finish during today’s pair of Cooper Tires Indy Pro 2000 Grand Prix races at Portland International Raceway. But that tally proved more than enough for Foster, a 19-year-old rookie from Basingstoke, England, to clinch the Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires for the Exclusive Autosport team.

In the opening race of the weekend’s tripleheader, Foster finished first to clinch the title, delivering Exclusive Autosport its first Road to Indy Driver Championship which it now pairs with the Team Championship they won in 2021.

Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires drivers Josh Green and Jonathan Browne will be back in the #3 and #2 cars for Turn 3 Motorsport at this weekend's triple-header season finale at Portland International Raceway.

Foster’s tally of six wins and four pole positions has taken him to a commanding a 77-point lead in the point standings with only 99 points available during the triple-header finale – 30 for each race win plus bonus points for pole position, fastest race lap and leading most laps. In reality, Foster needs merely one 11th-place finish from the three races to put the title beyond the reach of his adversaries.

Josh Green earned a fifth-place result at this past weekend’s Indy Pro 2000 VP Racing Fuels Oval Challenge of St. Louis following a hard fought 55-lap race around the 1.25-mile circuit.
