Francis Jr. Delivers Top 10 Result in Indy Lights Debut at St. Petersburg

Ernie’s debut weekend in the Indy Lights Series presented by Cooper Tires visited the streets of St. Petersburg Florida. A tricky street course that’s interweaved between an old airport runway and the downtown streets of the city. He had to start last on the grid in 14th after some troubles in qualifying. Throughout the race Ernie was able to methodically move his way forward passing seven cars on his way to a 7th place finish. An impressive drive to start the season for him and the Force Indy Team to gain some momentum moving forward.

The Indy Lights Series presented by Cooper Tires next visits Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama on May 1st for Round 2 of the Championship. Tune in live on the Road to Indy app or Peacock to stream the race and follow Ernie.
