Winterfest: Franzoni wins U.S. F2000 Race 3

Victor Franzoni took his second win of the day in U.S. F2000 Race 3 of Cooper Tires Winterfest. The Brazilian, who won Race 2 earlier in the day after storming from the seventh starting position to the lead in the opening 3 laps, executed another of his trademark starts in Race 3. This time, Franzoni would move to the lead from the third grid position on the first lap en route to scoring a flag-to-flag victory.

Race 1 winner Jake Eidson was second. Eidson had a coming together with pole sitter Nico Jamin late in the race, as the two battled for second. Jamin was eliminated from the race and finished 18th.

John Cummiskey Racing's Jordan Lloyd finished third, with teammate Anthony Martin fourth. Garth Richards of Team Pelfrey rounded out the top-five.
