OCONOMOWOC, Wis. (April 1, 2021) - Today, Pabst Racing announced the signing of 16-year-old Jace Denmark for the 2021 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship. Denmark, of Scottsdale, Ariz., will enter his first season on the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires with a solid eight-year foundation of karting experience under his belt.

Denmark began racing at the age of 8 in karting and has earned multiple domestic and international podiums throughout his career. He was the 2018 and 2019 U.S. Legend Car Silver State Championship Champion and Rookie of the Year as well as the 2018 X30 Junior California Prokart Champion.

His preparation for the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship includes experience testing a Formula Renault car, competing in a US F4 race at Virginia International Raceway and several tests with Pabst Racing in his #23 USF2000 machine.

“The Pabst Racing team is top notch and I feel very fortunate and honored to be driving with them in the 2021 Road to Indy USF2000 series,” said Denmark. “The season will be full of learning and developing new relationships while taking my experience to the next level. Testing with Pabst has been fantastic and I've already learned so much. I can't wait for the racing to start!”
