The 2019 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship was the tenth season – since its revival in 2010 – of the
U.S. F2000 National Championship, an
open wheelauto racing series that is the first step in
INDYCAR's
Road to Indy ladder, operated by Andersen Promotions. A 15-race schedule was announced on September 25, 2018, consisting of five permanent road courses and two street circuits on the NTT IndyCar Series schedule each hosting doubleheaders, and a single race at the
Dave Steele Classic on a short oval.[1]
American
Braden Eves of
Cape Motorsports won the championship in a tightly contested points race by winning the final race at
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca over New Zealander
Hunter McElrea of Pabst Racing. Eves won six times with two other podium finishes while McElrea, who had won the Road to Indy Shootout to earn his place on the U.S. F2000 grid, won four times with eight other podiums. Danish driver
Christian Rasmussen won three races and finished tied for the third most points with American
Colin Kaminsky. Rasmussen won third by virtue of Kaminsky not capturing any race wins.
Darren Keane won one race and finished fifth in the championship. Australian
Cameron Shields, who ended his championship campaign after the Toronto round, was the sole other race winner on the season.
Pabst Racing won its third straight team championship despite their top driver McElrea losing out on the drivers' championship.
