Duo teams up to score two top-fives and four top-10s
ELKHART LAKE, WI (June 21, 2026) – Exclusive Autosport continued its strong 2026 USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire campaign this past weekend at the legendary Road America, with Jack Jeffers and Joey Brienza battling through a competitive pair of USF Pro 2000 races on the iconic 4.014-mile road course. Jeffers extended his championship lead with another podium finish, while Brienza showed impressive pace and determination throughout the weekend, adding valuable points to the team’s championship effort. Supported by the dedicated Exclusive Autosport crew, both drivers demonstrated the speed and consistency that have become trademarks of the program as the season enters its critical summer stretch. Jeffers’ runner-up finish in Race 2 on Sunday has now extended his championship lead to 20 points as the series approaches the midpoint of the 2026 season.
“Road America was another very solid weekend for our entire program, and I’m extremely proud of the effort put in by everyone on this team,” said Michael Duncalfe, Co-Owner and CEO. “Jack continues to do exactly what championship contenders need to do by maximizing every opportunity, and it was fantastic to see Joey continue building confidence and delivering his strongest results of the season. Our crew continues to give our drivers incredibly fast race cars every time we unload, and we are excited to carry this momentum forward into Mid-Ohio.”
The weekend began with unofficial testing on Thursday, allowing the Exclusive Autosport team and drivers to dial in their setups for the demanding 14-turn circuit. Official track activity got underway on Friday with a single practice session followed by the lone qualifying session of the weekend, placing added importance on every lap. Championship leader Jeffers continued his strong form by securing the outside front row with a second-place qualifying effort, positioning himself as a contender for victory in Race 1. Brienza also showed solid pace throughout the day, earning the ninth-fastest time to secure a top-10 starting position for the weekend’s pair of races.
Saturday afternoon’s opening race provided plenty of action for the Exclusive Autosport duo. Starting from the front row, Jeffers lost several positions in the opening stages but remained focused and methodically worked his way back through the field over the course of the race. Showing strong pace and race craft, he recovered to finish fourth, limiting the championship damage and collecting valuable points. Brienza continued his positive weekend with a clean and consistent drive, battling in a stacked field, before bringing his car home in ninth position.
Sunday morning’s Race 2 brought the Road America weekend to a close for the USF Pro 2000 field, with Jeffers once again lining up on the front row after his strong qualifying performance. The championship leader pushed hard throughout the race, staying in contention at the front and ultimately securing a second-place finish to earn another podium result. Combined with his fourth-place finish on Saturday, Jeffers extended his advantage in the championship standings as the season heads to Mid-Ohio. Brienza continued his consistent weekend runs, battling inside the top-10 from start to finish and crossing the line in ninth position. Matching his Race 1 result, the pair of ninth-place finishes marked his best results of the season and capped off a productive weekend for the Exclusive Autosport squad at Road America.
After a one-day test at the Milwaukee Mile on Monday, the team will now look forward to the July 4th holiday weekend event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, where they’ll run as part of the INDYCAR Honda 200 weekend.
