Quebecker Maxime Pelletier got all the way back from eight position on the grid to finish Formula BMW Americas' second race of the year in third place.

He was preceded by Alexander Rossi on second place and Gianmarco Raimondo, who won his first race of the year.

Polesitter Ricardo Favoretto never saw the end of the first lap which, obviously, is a big deception for him.

The other Quebecker in the race, 15 years old Mikaël Grenier, couldn't do better than eight since he had mechanical problems after coming back from seventh to fourth position.

Next race will occur during Montreal's Grand Prix of Canada, on the 7th and 8th of June.
