Junior Open Wheel Talent

1. Alexander Rossi
One of today's brightest young stars with a hunger to succeed. Very calm, collected and well spoken off the track. He's a driven young man with a ton of experience for his age.

2. David Jurca
One of the nicest pilots I have met. Jurca has what it takes to succeed. At this point his biggest hindrance is funding. Look for him to be running the Jetta TDI Cup this season. He will also continue his karting efforts with powerhouse Italian Motors based out of Vancouver, BC.

3. Alan Rudolph
Forget his age. This guy has more experience than just about anyone out there vying for a seat at the professional level. Take one look at his resume ...enough said.

4. Dane Cameron
Dane did very well in karting, but has really excelled in his formula car efforts. He came into the Star Mazda Championship last year as a rookie without a ton of experience and graduated as the series Champion. He finished just outside the Top Ten in his Atlantic Debut, but look for him to be battling for another championship in the near future.

5. Jordon Musser
Another aging prospect, but Musser is incredibly intelligent and has arguably the most natural talent of any driver on this list. He is currently working as a defense engineer after recently graduating from Texas A&M. Musser may have been spotted recently by a few with his appearance on SPEED TV's SET-UP.

6. Seth Ingham
Seth has been flying under the radar of many by racing in the Formula V6 Asia series by Renault. He was incredibly fast in the 2005 Skip Barber Karting Shoot-Out. Unfortunately, he left without a scholarship and has used that as fire to succeed in Asia. Racing with CT Motorsports, Seth won a race in the FV6A series last year. If he is able to come up with the necessary funding expect to see much more of him.

7. Alan Sciuto
Without a doubt, Alan is a top prospect in the open wheel racing world. He has the experience and is a very quick learner. Winning his first US Formula Ford 2000 race and qualifying on pole in only his second Atlantic start. The future is bright.

8. Jonathon Summerton
Summerton has been a contender since winning the Formula BMW Scholarship Shoot-Out in Valencia, Spain. Since that time, he has raced in Europe and most recently become the first American driver to win an A1GP race.

9. Bobby Wilson
Bobby Wilson is a very talented driver hailing from Oconomowoc, WI. Wilson has been a contender in every series he has ever run. A fierce competitor in the karting ranks who has carried that over into FF2000 and the IPS. Wilson is currently struggling to find the funding to continue his efforts and is also with a new team this year. Should he put everything together for one more run...expect to see him at the top level of open wheel racing.

10. Ron White
Possibly the most aggressive competitor out there.... White has the fire and refuses to let it dim. Ron will be the lead driver for the KLS karting team in 2008 and will also focus on chassis development for the team. White has done a terrific job of finding the limit between aggression and discretion over the last few seasons. Should he find the funding to continue his efforts....watch out.


**Driver to watch: Chris Miller - JDC Motorsports**

Chris finished third in his first National FF2000 series race and has a ton of karting experience.
