Discount Tire Awards Scholarship to USF Pro Championships Driver

Discount Tire celebrated its official partnership with the USF Pro Championships by awarding the Discount Tire Driver Development Scholarship, a $664,500 award, to this year’s USF Pro 2000 presented by Cooper Tires champion, Myles Rowe.

In March 2023, Discount Tire and USF Pro Championships announced their partnership. Through the Discount Tire Driver Development Scholarship program, Discount Tire awards champions in the USF Pro 2000, USF2000, and USF Junior race series with a combined amount of over $1.3 million, contributing to the future careers of these drivers, the company said.

With Rowe’s USF Pro 2000 champion’s title and scholarship, he moves up the ladder to INDY NXT by Firestone in 2024 – one step closer to his career goal of racing in the NTT IndyCar Series. Rowe made history in 2023 as the first African American to win a North American open-wheel championship.

Discount Tire & Service Centers has a new sponsorship deal with the Los Angeles Angels for the 2024 season. Discount Tire said this partnership will not only benefit its customers with season-long promotions and giveaways but will also support local non-profits.

"We're thrilled to launch this strategic partnership with the Los Angeles Angels," said Sergio Andonian, president, Discount Tire & Service Centers. "As neighbors, from Anaheim, we are dedicated to serving our local communities and providing quality tire & automotive service at the most competitive prices. Together, we look forward to making a positive and lasting impact in the communities. Add baseball to the mix, and with this winning combination, the possibilities are endless."
