Standout Jack Jeffers delivers one pole and two wins on the streets of Toronto
TORONTO, ON, CANADA – Exclusive Autosport enjoyed a dominant weekend on the 1.786-mile circuit on the streets of Toronto, headlined by a breakout performance from Jack Jeffers, who swept the Continental Tire Grand Prix of Toronto with one pole and back-to-back victories to seize the lead in the USF2000 Championship. Jeffers’ win on Sunday was his fourth in a row and has extended his lead in the championship standings by 52 points heading into the finale weekend in Portland in August.
Teammate Lucas Fecury delivered a pair of solid top-10 finishes, continuing his steady progression this season. Evan Cooley showed strong pace with a second-place starting spot in Race 1, but bad luck would plague his entire weekend. Kaylee Countryman gained valuable street circuit experience, making notable strides with each session. The overall results from the entire squad have also moved Exclusive Autosport into the lead in the prestigious Team Championship standings with just one race weekend to go.
“What Jack showed this weekend in Toronto was pure grit and composure,” said Michael Duncalfe, Co-Owner and CEO. “The streets of Toronto demand precision and confidence, and he delivered both. From the first session to the final lap, he raced like a veteran — smart, calculated and fearless. We're incredibly proud of his progress, and this performance is a testament to the hard work he's put in all season. Evan Cooley had a rough weekend with some unfortunate luck — with a mechanical issue in Race 1 and contact with the wall in Race 2. But even through the setbacks, he showed strong pace. We will regroup and head to Portland with a renewed focus on finishing the season strong. Lucas Fecury also showed solid speed and determination, making steady improvements throughout the weekend and posting two strong top-ten results. I'm incredibly proud of the effort and performance Kaylee Countryman delivered. Our primary goal was for her to gain experience and understand the unique demands of a street circuit—and she rose to the challenge. Kaylee stayed clean, focused, and consistent, making steady progress with every session and putting in two solid race performances. This was an important step forward in her development.
"Overall, it was a really positive weekend for the team. We are seeing incredibly strong momentum and are heading into the final event at Portland with the lead in both the driver’s championship as well as the team championship. The entire crew has worked tirelessly to put us in this position, and we're excited to finish the season strong.”
Saturday afternoon set the stage for a dramatic opening race in the USF2000 Continental Tire Grand Prix of Toronto, where EA’s quartet of young talent took center stage. Cooley was heartbreakingly sidelined from his front row starting spot before the green flag due to a fuel pump failure, leaving Jeffers to carry the torch. Starting fifth, Jeffers wasted no time slicing through the field and delivered a race-defining move on lap 10, diving inside at Turn 9 to take over the lead from title rival Thomas Schrage. From there, he never looked back, pulling away to claim his fourth win of the season, tightening his grip on the championship standings. Fecury and Countryman also showed determination on the challenging street circuit, with Fecury finishing a solid seventh and Countryman bringing home a clean car in 11th.
Race 2 of the USF2000 weekend in Toronto took place on Sunday morning, following overnight rain that made for a damp and tricky track. This set the stage for another commanding drive from Jeffers. Mastering the damp conditions with poise, Jeffers powered through the full-course cautions and would go on to notch his fifth win of the season, leading all 20 laps while also posting the fastest lap of the race, extending his championship lead. Even with the challenge of the conditions, Fecury and Countryman delivered solid, calculated drives to bring home valuable points for the team. Cooley was poised for a podium finish, but his misfortune continued after making slight contact with the wall on the opening lap, causing him to retire early. Amidst the mix of triumph and heartbreak, the weekend showcased the depth of talent and tenacity within the Exclusive Autosport camp, proving that rain or shine, this crew never backs down.
Exclusive Autosport now heads to Road America this weekend for Rounds 11, 12 and 13 for our USF Juniors squad, before the whole team will head to Portland International Raceway on August 7-10 for their final event of the 2025 season.
