Andretti Autosport confirmed today that Dalton Kellett has joined its Mazda Road to Indy roster. The 21-year-old will drive the No. 28 K-Line machine for the Indianapolis-based team for his sophomore season in the Pro Mazda Championship presented by Cooper Tires.

With one podium, two top-five and nine top-10 finishes, Kellett came away 10th in the 2014 season, the Canadian's rookie year. The Toronto native raced in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda for two years before his graduation to Pro Mazda. Prior to his involvement in the Mazda Road to Indy, Kellett competed in the Ontario Formula Ford Championship as well as multiple karting championships over four years where he was awarded with Rookie of the Year honors and other scholarships for his achievements.

Not only will Kellett be competing full time in the Pro Mazda Championship 2015 title, the Stouffville, Ontario resident will enter his fourth year of Engineering Physics at Queen's University in Kingston, looking to complete his engineering degree for April 2015.

'Amazing opportunity'

"It's an amazing opportunity to be able to join Andretti Autosport for the 2015 Pro Mazda season," Kellett said. "I anticipate that we will have a successful year, and I am looking forward to the start of the race season! I was able to get to know the Andretti crew at a post-season test where I immediately felt like we were a good fit. They are a very professional team and I feel like we work well together."

"We've noticed Dalton as he's been making his way through the Mazda Road to Indy and have been impressed by his work ethic and consistency over the years," added JF Thormann, Chief Operating Officer of Andretti Autosport. "Dalton joined us earlier in the offseason for a test and we were pleased to see how well he fit in with our Pro Mazda team. We're very excited to have he and his family join our Mazda Road to Indy family and expect great things in the 2015 season."
