In a race filled with tight battles and clean passes, Shipman (No. 14 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) improved on his third-place starting position to take the victory, marking his second-career F4 U.S. win.

While Popow drove away, Campbell fell into the grips of Shipman and Hauanio, turning the battle for third into a three-way battle for second. Campbell held the runner-up position for nearly two-thirds of the race, but with approximately 10 minutes left on the clock, Shipman finally found a way around.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 21, 2025) – Cooper Shipman has been flawless thus far in Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Fastest in practice and qualifying, Shipman (No. 14 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) led the field down the starting grid after securing his second pole of the season. Alex Popow (No. 55 Dr. Michael Thompson MS DDS PPLS / MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) rolled off second, but it was actually third-place starter Kekai Hauanio (No. 29 N-E-Where Transport / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F422) who was making forward progress during the opening laps of the race. Overtaking Popow for second in Turn 1, Hauanio smoothly moved past Shipman to take the lead as they raced toward Turn 2. Shipman battled back, and the two raced side by side through Turns 3, 4 and 5. While Hauanio was initially able to hold the position, Shipman challenged again as they raced through the same sector the following lap, this time emerging with the race lead. From there, he never looked back, steadily pulling ahead and putting a gap on the field. With Popow making the pass on Hauanio during the latter stages of the race to overtake second, he tried to pull Shipman into his grasp, but was unable to do so before the checkered flag waved.
