PITTSBORO, Ind. – TJ Speed Motorsports is set to launch its 2026 USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire campaign this weekend as the series makes its debut on the Streets of Arlington alongside the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. The team will field a three-car lineup featuring Christian Cameron, Leandro Juncos and Thomas Schrage for the highly anticipated season opener.

The trio of drivers arrives with strong credentials as they step into the competitive USF Pro 2000 field. Cameron moves up to the series after completing his rookie campaign in the USF2000 Championship in 2025, where he finished 11th in the standings and gained valuable experience competing on some of North America’s most demanding circuits.

Juncos joins the team following an impressive season in the GB4 Championship in 2025, where he finished fifth in the standings. The Argentine driver now transitions to racing in the United States as he begins his journey on the USF Pro Championships ladder.

Thomas Schrage has built an impressive résumé through the USF Pro Championships ladder. He captured the 2022 Formula Race Promotions (FRP) F1600 Championship, scoring nine wins and 16 podiums in 21 races, which helped earn him the Team USA Scholarship later that year.  In recent seasons, Schrage has competed in the USF2000 Championship, where he enjoyed a breakout 2025 campaign, recording three race wins, 11 podiums and three pole positions, finishing third in the championship standings. 

The Arlington event will present a unique challenge for the entire grid as the temporary street circuit will host its inaugural USF Pro 2000 race weekend. With no drivers having previously raced at the venue, teams and drivers alike will rely heavily on preparation and adaptability throughout the weekend.

Team owner Tim Neff expressed confidence in his drivers as the team prepares to take on the new circuit and begin the season.

“We are really excited to start the season in Arlington,” said Neff. “A brand-new street circuit creates an even playing field for everyone and it will come down to preparation, adaptability and execution. Christian made great progress during his USF2000 season last year and is ready to take the next step, while Leandro brings strong international experience from GB4. After finishing third in the USF2000 standings in 2025, Thomas is ready for the demands of USF Pro 2000. We are confident all three drivers will represent TJ Speed Motorsports well as we begin the season.”

Track activity will begin Friday, March 13, with practice and qualifying sessions. The race weekend will conclude on Saturday with a doubleheader race day to open the championship. Fans can follow all the action live, including qualifying and both races, at usfpro2000.com/results/live-timing.
