Canadian focused on championship title after strong rookie campaign
BROWNSBURG, Ind. – Exclusive Autosport is thrilled to announce the return of Canadian Anthony Martella for his second USF2000 season, as part of the 2026 USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire.
Martella delivered a standout rookie campaign in 2025, highlighted by a prestigious victory in the Freedom 75 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in May, showcasing his skill and composure on the oval. Over the course of the season, the 17-year-old added multiple top-five and top-10 results, culminating in a strong seventh-place finish in the championship standings. With a year of experience and a major win already under his belt, Martella returns to Exclusive Autosport with momentum and determination as he looks to contend for the 2026 USF2000 title.
“I’m proud to announce that I will be competing with Exclusive Autosport in the 2026 USF2000 season,” enthused Martella. “This is a major step in my development, and I’m incredibly grateful to Josh Cooley, Michael Duncalfe, Kevin Savoree, Green Savoree, NIN Transport, Young Drivers of Canada, and especially my parents for their support. After a strong rookie season, I’m looking forward to getting back on track and getting to work. Bring on 2026!”
“Anthony Martella is a driver we've been keeping an eye on after his terrific win at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Indy 500 Carb Night this spring,” said Kevin Savoree, Co-Owner and COO of Green Savoree Racing Promotions. “By way of our Ontario Honda Dealers Indy event, we've had an opportunity to get to know Anthony, his father Tony, and Anthony's whole family. It's important for our event in Markham to have rising Canadian drivers like Anthony perform at a high level and develop into INDYCAR drivers. We look forward to working with Anthony and following his continued climb up the racing ladder in the USF2000 Championship next year with Exclusive Autosport."
“I’m thrilled to have Anthony back under the Exclusive Autosport banner,” said Josh Cooley, Co-Owner and President. “This past season, he showed that he has great pace and that he can be a contender every race, especially with his standout performance on the oval at IRP, winning the Freedom 75 in May. I look forward to seeing him work again with our veteran engineer, Louis D’Agostino, and the entire Exclusive Autosport crew.”
