The Blue Marble Radical Cup has been attracting new and younger prospects in the past few years and as the season grows, another future star is set to make their series debut this weekend. Joining the already long list of young guns competing this season, Canadian driver Jake Cowden is set to run his first career Blue Marble Radical Cup North American event at the upcoming Barber Motorsports Park with RySpec Racing.
Racing alongside the NTT IndyCar Series, Cowden is piggybacking off his championship win in the 2022 Toyo Tires F1600 class, racing in the No.66 Mygale with Britain West and producing some incredible statistics with 100% of his finishes over the 2022 season on the podium. Additionally, Cowden competed in the 2022 Team Canada Scholarship shootout and was selected to compete for Team Canada in England in the Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy race.
Cowden, an 18-year-old who started in karting at the age of 10, is focused on achieving his goal of becoming an IndyCar driver and hopes joining the Blue Marble Radical Cup will catapult him in the right direction.
“I am very excited to be competing in the Blue Marble Radical Cup weekend at Barber Motorsports Park,” said Jake Cowden. “This will be my first taste of wheel-to-wheel Radical racing, and I couldn’t be more excited. Seat time is so important before I compete for the FEL ERCC championship back home in Canada, and the Blue Marble Radical Cup is the best possible way to prepare. Additionally, it gives me a chance to experience the intensity of an Indy environment before both series come together at the Honda Indy Toronto in July.”
