Junior Strous (born April 28, 1986 in Vlaardingen) is a Dutch racing driver from Wassenaar.
Racing career
After a successful childhood in karting, he began driving in Formula Ford Benelux in 2000. In 2002 he moved up to Formula BMW ADAC. In 2003 he competed in several Formula Renault series and finished second in the Dutch version of the championship. He was that series' champion in 2004.
For 2005 he moved to Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup and finished 18th. He drove in four different Formula Renault series in 2005, finishing 7th in the Eurocup and Nordic championships, second in the Dutch championship, and winning the UK Winter Series. In 2006 he ventured into touring cars full-time, winning the BMW Compact Cup Benelux and finishing second in the Dacia Logan Cup Netherlands. In 2007 he competed part time in the Champ Car Atlantic Championship and finished 14th in points.
2008 saw his full time participation in the Atlantic Championship where he finished 5th and won at Circuit Mont-Tremblant for Condor Motorsports. For 2009 he planned to compete full-time in the Firestone Indy Lights Series for Winners Circle Group.[1] He won the first two races of the season at St. Pete and led the championship through four rounds. However, following the Freedom 100, funding was apparently abruptly cut off to Winners Circle group's technical team partner, despite the strong results.[2] He signed on to return to Indy Lights in 2010 with Team Moore Racing.[3] However, less than a month after signing, the team indicated that he had been released from his contract.[4]
