Alessandro de Tullio executed a spectacular last-lap pass in this morning’s thrilling second leg of the Continental Tire Grand Prix of Toronto doubleheader to claim victory for Turn 3 Motorsport. It was the Miami, Fla., native’s fourth USF Pro 2000 win of the season.
Frankie Mossman, from Newport Beach, Calif., had to settle for second place after leading most of the 25-lap race for VRD Racing, while Jacob Douglas, from Christchurch, New Zealand, maintained his streak of podium finishes after taking third for Pabst Racing.
“It was a good recovery after we qualified sixth yesterday. I struggled a little bit at the start, but once the car got going, we were really fast.”said Douglas. “I managed to reel in P3 and get by him. Unfortunately, the leaders were a bit far gone at that point and I wish I could have been in the battle for it. But we’ll take some good points and a trophy and go to Portland, one of my favorite tracks, and try to get some wins.”
The USF Pro 2000 championship is already won, but the battle for the other placings is very much alive and will be settled during a final doubleheader weekend, once again in conjunction with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, at Portland International Raceway in Portland, Ore., on August 8-10.
