Cape Motorsports has a long history of producing superstars in racing, and comes off 2011 as the reigning Championship Class winners. 2012 will mark their first foray into the National Class, and team owner Dominic Cape is happy to have secured the Norwegian on his National Class squad.

"We are extremely excited to have Henrik as part of our assault on the USF2000 Championships, Henrik tested with us in2012 as part of ABK and was on the pace immediately." Commented Dominic. "The National class utilizing the SCCA FE car and regulations is the perfect platform for the young guns of tomorrow to learn their trade on the first rung of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder."

Henrik comes off a Championship winning season, having dominated the Norwegian Formula Basic Championship. Thanks to a scholarship from the Norwegian Auto Sport Association, he was able to fly stateside to learn more about the Mazda Road to Indy, test a USF2000 car and take part in a training camp put on by ABK Sports Management. Henrik is now part of the ABK program, which is co-owned by fellow Norwegian and Mazda Road to Indy Graduate, Anders Krohn.

Furuseth is excited about the opportunity at hand, but knows that staying humble will be a key to his first season of Pro-racing. "I am so grateful for this opportunity, and will do my very best to make this a successful season with Cape Motorsports. This is my dream come true." Said Henrik.

The first two races of the USF2000 National Class Championship will be held at Sebring International Raceway on March 15 & 16. Just a week later, Henrik will be making his street circuit debut in the form of the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
