Young American female racer ready for next step up the ladder
BROWNSBURG, IN (September 5, 2024) – Exclusive Autosport is pleased to announce Chandler, Arizona’s Kaylee Countryman to the team’s 2025 USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire squad. The 14-year-old has already started a focused testing program with the team and is looking to build on her foundation of experience to be ready for the season opener next April. Kaylee has been racing for just three years but has logged extensive seat time in both American and European karting. In March of this year, she made her transition into cars, running in both the Lucas Oil School of Racing Formula Car Race Series and assorted RUSH SR competition in the United States and Canada. Countryman will pilot the #90 Exclusive Autosport Tatuus JR23.
“Joining Exclusive Autosport for the 2025 season in USF Juniors is a thrilling opportunity for me to learn and grow as a driver,” enthused Countryman. “I started racing in 2022 and it feels like just yesterday when I stepped into my first kart. The team has been so welcoming, and I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity for my second year in cars. This is a big step, but I’m so excited to see what the team and I can accomplish this year under such an organized and professional community. I’d like to thank my family, friends, and sponsors who have helped me get where I am today.”
Countryman began her karting career in 2022 in Phoenix, racing in the assorted Junior categories, including the Briggs 206, Rotax, and both KA100 and X30 engine packages. Two years of dedicated karting with non-stop seat time laid the foundation for her move into car racing earlier this year. Kaylee began with track time in both a RUSH SR and Porsche GT3, and then committed to the full Lucas Oil race program to develop her baseline skills and experience in an open-wheel formula car. Exclusive Autosport has an aggressive testing plan laid out for the off-season, running through the YACademy Winter Series to official series Spring Training in late February.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kaylee to the team and to the Exclusive Autosport USF Juniors program,” said Michael Duncalfe, Co-Owner and CEO. “Kaylee has been working really hard to continue her development in the car and we look forward to being part of that process and helping her to achieve her goals in motorsports. She is a fierce competitor and will thrive at EA and in the USF Juniors category. We look forward to working with Kaylee throughout the off-season and her debut in the USF Juniors Championship in the spring of 2025.”
As stated, in preparation for the 2025 season, Countryman will take part in Exclusive Autosport’s extensive off-season testing program for their USF Juniors, USF2000, and USF Pro 2000 teams leading into the upcoming USF Pro Championships.
