Episode Details

Fifteen-year-old Oliver Wheldon stunned the USF2000 series with his first career win at Portland, seizing victory after a dramatic late-race surge fueled by championship rival Eddie Beswick’s mechanical meltdown. Starting from pole, Wheldon dropped back early but capitalized on Beswick’s suspension failure on lap 18 to reclaim the lead and hold off a fierce challenge from teammate Ryan Giannetta and Anthony Martella, who surged from eighth to second. Wheldon’s triumph marks him as one of the youngest winners in series history, while Giannetta’s podium completes his streak of back-to-back top-three finishes. Despite missing the season’s first two races due to age, Wheldon already boasts four poles this year — proving his speed and poise under pressure.
