On November 30, 2021, it was announced that Papasavvas would make his debut in single seaters in the 2022 U.S. F2000 National Championship driving for Jay Howard Driver Development. [3] Due to an injury sustained racing karts, he had to miss the first half of the season. Papasavvas would make his debut at the ninth round held at Road America, but would retire during the race. He would finish 23rd in the standings.
In late 2022, it was announced that Papasavvas would race in the 2023 USF2000 Championship once again with Jay Howard Driver Development. [2] He would receive his maiden podium in the series at the first race held at St. Petersburg.
At Mid-Ohio, Papasavvas would qualify on pole by over 2 tenths of a second over championship leader Simon Sikes. [4] However, since he missed the checkered flag and completed an extra lap before returning to the pit lane, he would receive a two-place grid penalty which resulted in a third place starting spot behind Sikes and Ethan Ho. Papasavvas managed to pass Ho into the first corner and got the lead from Sikes at turn 4 on lap 1. On the last lap of the race, Sikes fought with Papasavvas for the lead out of turn 4, however Sikes went wide into turn 5 which allowed Papasavvas to retake the lead into turn 6. Papasavvas would hold on to grab his first win in the championship at his hometown track. [5]

The 2023 USF2000 Championshippresented by Cooper Tires was the fourteenth season of the USF2000 Championship since its revival in 2010. When the top rung of the Road to Indy ladder system, Indy Lights, was bought by Penske Entertainment in 2021 and the lower level series changed sanctioning to the United States Auto Club, changes were made to the other championships in the ladder. This, together with the Indy Lights being rebranded to Indy NXT, effectively ended the "Road to Indy" branding, with the three championships below Indy NXT now collectively called "USF Pro Championships Presented by Cooper Tires". The USF2000 Championship served as the middle rung of this ladder.
