Liam McNeilly dominated the second race of the USF2000 season opener at St. Petersburg, securing a perfect weekend with another flag-to-flag victory. The 18-year-old British driver earned 64 out of 66 possible points after qualifying on pole position and leading all 20 laps.

Jack Jeffers from Texas finished second, claiming the fastest lap bonus point, while Caleb Gafrarar recovered from Friday's accident to secure third place for Pabst Racing.

McNeilly maintained his lead from pole position, while Jeffers made an impressive start, moving from fourth to second position. Despite Jeffers' late-race pressure, McNeilly managed to cross the finish line with a 2.7672-second advantage.

Key race highlights:

• Brad Majman finished fifth after Friday's early exit
• Evan Cooley secured sixth place
• Thomas Schrage advanced from last place to seventh, earning the Tilton Hard Charger Award
• Jay Howard Driver Development leads the Team Championship

The USF2000 series will resume with a tripleheader event at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, Louisiana, on April 12-13.
