Thompson, 21, from Red Deer, Alb., has finished in the top three in four of his five Road to Indy seasons, losing hard-fought battles for the 2016 USF2000 Championship (to Cape Motorsports teammate Anthony Martin) and the 2018 Indy Pro 2000 Championship (to now IndyCar-bound Rinus VeeKay).
At the season finale in Monterey, Exclusive Autosport announced its intention of graduating to Indy Lights, the top rung of the Road to Indy ladder.
For Lastochkin, 29, a native Russian who resides in Los Angeles, 2020 marks his sixth season on the Road to Indy that began in USF2000 in 2015, only his third year of racing.
