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.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 21, 2025) – Hometown star Cash Felber earned his first-career win in the Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) on Saturday afternoon at his home track, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Earning his first win in just his fourth weekend competing in the series, Felber (No. 11 BioLongevity Labs / TownHall / Rebol / DWT / Matrix Mind Water / Phantom Fireworks / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4) put on a commanding performance, taking the lead off the starting block from current championship frontrunner Gastón Irazú (No. 42 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4) to pace his first laps in the series. With Irazú in hot pursuit, the 14 year old maintained his composure, continued to hit his marks and led for nearly the first 20 minutes of the race. Irazú finally made his way around Felber, while Drew Szuch (No. 28 Berg Racing Ligier JS F4) steadily climbed through the field behind him. Irazú went off track with less than five minutes left on the clock, allowing both Felber and Szuch to scurry past. With Felber back out front, Szuch began closing in. As they raced toward the white flag, Szuch made a move to overtake Felber and went on to lead the field across the finish line. As they took the checkered flag, Szuch led Felber and Beckham Jacir (No. 7 STONICA / BELL / OMP / P1Doks / LC Racing Ligier JS F4).
