The season-finale races will be run Saturday and Sunday as scheduled. In addition, the season-ending awards banquet will take place Sunday night at Walt Disney World.
"We cannot express the sense of loss and sadness from this national tragedy," said Jon Baytos, owner of the U.S. F2000 National Championship. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. After discussions with Daytona International Speedway and the Grand American Road Racing Association, we have decided to run the season-finale with some minor scheduling changes.”
