Championship contenders Johnny Guindi and Jeshua Alianell both leave Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with victories in the Skip Barber Formula Series. The drivers put on one of the best shows of the weekend as they shared the legendary 2.25-mile road course with the Road to Indy Series. Varying weather conditions kept the drivers on their toes throughout the weekend. 
Alianell qualified on the pole for Race 1 with a time of 1:29.288, six tenths over second place qualifier Nathan Byrd. William Lambros, Guindi, Bobby Krug, Lindsay Brewer, Jimmy Dai, and Amandeep Pothani rounded out the rest of the field in qualifying. In Race 1, Alianell was able to pull away and hold the lead for most of the race. He ran the fastest lap of the race with a time of a 1:29.837. Guindi was able to work his way up to second place and Lambros maintained the third-place position. In the final lap, an unforeseeable mechanical issue disabled Alianell’s car allowing Guindi to pass and take the win. Alianell was able to finish ahead of Lambros by a nose as he coasted across the line and claimed the second-place spot. 
Race 2 starting order was determined by Race 1 fastest lap as the qualifying session was suspended due to extremely wet track conditions. Alianell started from the pole followed by Guindi, Lambros, Krug, Byrd, Brewer, Dai and Pothani. Wet tires were installed on the car as the track was still incredibly damp. Alianell wasn’t able to pull away as much as Lambros kept him honest for the majority of the race. Krug worked his way up to the third spot and ran the fastest lap of the race with a time of 1:36.373. Guindi, Byrd, and Brewer battled hard for the fourth-place position but Guindi was able to hold the position. Lambros made a final pass attempt with 2 laps to go but it wasn’t enough to get around Alianell as he seeked and achieved his redemption victory in Race 2. Lambros finished runner-up and Krug landed on the last step of the podium.
