Rettich to compete in USF2000

SCCA Formula Enterprise standout Scott Rettich will compete in the 2012 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda's national class with Alliance Autosport, team officials announced.

Rettich will drive the No. 71 Formula Enterprises Alliance Autosport entry, the same car that he has established a strong record of success in Formula Enterprises competition.

Rettich has won two Formula Enterprises SCCA National Championships, the SCCA Pro Racing Formula Enterprises Championship in 2011, the Formula Enterprises SCCA Triple Crown in 2010, and the Formula Enterprises SCCA Super Sweep in 2010 and 2011.

Rettich has also won multiple championships in sports racers and has been competing in Grand-Am Rolex GT events as well.

"I am very excited to enter the USF2000 Series," Rettich said. "The series has many great venues on the schedule and I am really looking forward to competing at INDYCAR and ALMS events. I really enjoy racing in front of large crowds. We have a few new things to learn with the Cooper tires, but I am confident that the Alliance Autosport crew can continue to give me a winning car. I would like to thank Mazda, Dan Anderson, and SCCA Enterprises for allowing Formula Enterprises into the USF2000 National class. I would also like to thank PDI Communication Systems, Springboro Car Wash, and Red Line Oil for their continual support of my racing career."
