# 2020 U.S. F2000 National Championship

The 2020 U.S. F2000 National Championship was the eleventh season of the U.S. F2000 National Championship since its revival in 2010. The championship serves as the first rung of the IndyCar Series's Road to Indy ladder system. An 18 race schedule was announced on 12 September 2019 featuring six permanent road courses, two street circuits, and a single oval in the Dave Steele Classic. The Dave Steele Classic race is a standalone race, while the Indianapolis road course race is now a stand-alone round due to the NASCAR Cup Series Big Machine Vodka 400 and GMR Grand Prix is a doubleheader weekend so it is full.
Danish driver Christian Rasmussen, driving for Jay Howard Driver Development, dominated the year, winning over half of all races and clinching the championship title at New Jersey Motorsports Park, two races before the end of the season
