THE ROAD TO INDY CAR STARTS WITH F4 Request for launch sponsors
“I am pursuing a career as driver in Indy Car with shared financial benefits for me and a group of sponsors who believe in me early - that’s now!” - Joe
INDY CAR IS THE DESTINATION. EVALUATED BY FORMER NASCAR DRIVER BLAKE KOCH TO HAVE THE TALENT. F4 WITH JAY HOWARD TEAM IS THE ROAD TO GET THERE. JOE’S ON TRACK AND HEADING THAT WAY - LET’S GO!
COLLEGE SOPHOMORE AT UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON LAUNCHING CAREER IN F4 WITH JAY HOWARD, FORMER INDY CAR DRIVER (JHDD) “Joe continues to amaze me, and his progression has been superb considering his distinct lack of experience.” - Jay Howard, JHDD Team Owner
WHY RACING? “I grew up around SCCA racing because my dad used to be Porsche Chicagoland Club President & driving instructor, and raced in local events. We talked cars all the time and attended lots of races. Dad contracted cancer in 2013 and fought it until he died 2017. That’s when my life went into a tailspin. In 2019, I decided to pursue racing to honor my dad and get back on track - and my mom and Blake helped make it happen.” - Joe

Harrison Burton (son of NASCAR superstar Jeff Burton) 2. Brandon Jones 3. Ty Dillon (grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard son) 4. Michael McDowell 5. Joe Ostholthoff
“I met Joe after hearing his story from Anne, and determined he has what it takes to be an amazing driver. He’s fast, has already beat some pro track times, is teachable and takes the risks he needs to take without any prodding. He’s a natural!” - Blake Koch
