Shock of shocks, Michele Bumgarner is on the entry list.
Jason Rabe is a guy who competed in Ken Block's Octane Academy program sponsored by Ford and raced in 2 F2000 CS races last year. He's 29 and frankly I think he's in a little over his head.
Michael Whelden is 21 and competed in Formula Car Challenge races (in FS2.0 class) for World Speed in 2012 and won the Pro Mazda class of Formula Car Challenge this year. I'd say of anyone ever to make their Pro Mazda Championship debut, he has the most laps in a Pro Mazda car as he tested the entire spring of 2012 in the car as well.
Other than that, we've got the usuals.
Matthew Brabham has the title already locked up but it looks like he will still race to put an exclamation point on the season. The only close points race of any importance is for 3rd where Shelby Blackstock is 8 pts ahead of Spencer Pigot. Grabbing third would make this season slightly less disappointing for Pigot.
