Rookie Australian/American driver Matthew Brabham, son of Geoff Brabham, captured the title over is Cape Motosports teammate, second-year American Spencer Pigot by seven points in the final pair of races at Virginia International Raceway.

The only other driver to capture a race win during the season was Belardi Auto Racing's Scott Anderson.
