"Mid-Ohio was a great example of the resilience and depth of this team," said Michael Duncalfe, Co-Owner and CEO of Exclusive Autosport. "Anthony's response after the disappointment of Race 1 says everything about his character. He came back the next day, executed flawlessly, and earned a well-deserved victory. It was also extremely encouraging to see the continued progress from both Gabriel and Ayrton Cahan. They continue to gain confidence, racecraft and consistency every weekend, and it's rewarding to see their hard work translating into strong results. Evan Cooley also continued to demonstrate the consistency that has kept him firmly in the championship battle, battling back to another top-10 finish despite a challenging weekend. We were also very relieved and thankful to see Connor walk away from his incident and receive the all-clear following his medical evaluation. We are grateful for the outstanding work of the AMR Safety Team and the medical staff at Mid-Ohio. We'll take the positives from this weekend, continue building on the momentum we've established, and look forward to getting back to work in Portland."

The weekend began on Thursday with an unofficial test day, giving the Exclusive Autosport drivers valuable track time before official action commenced on Friday with practice, qualifying and Race 1. Martella immediately established himself as one of the drivers to beat, pacing the team in practice before qualifying on the front row in second. Martella wasted no time in Race 1, taking the lead on the opening lap, but his bid for victory came to a heartbreaking end when he was taken out by a fellow competitor on the straightaway after exiting the Keyhole corner. Despite the disappointment, the team enjoyed highlights as the Cahan brothers shined in the caution-filled race, battling through the chaos to secure strong top-five and top-10 finishes, respectively, highlighting a resilient performance from the EA squad.

Saturday's second and final USF2000 race brought the weekend to a close. After weather delays impacted Saturday’s schedule, the race was ultimately shortened due to time constraints. Starting from pole position, Martella delivered a flawless performance, leading every lap from green to checkered to secure his third victory of the season. Gabriel and Ayrton capped off another solid weekend by bringing home top-10 finishes, while Cooley also fought his way into the top-10 to give Exclusive Autosport four cars inside the top 10 at the checkered flag. Unfortunately, Aspley's race came to an abrupt end after he was involved in an early incident that required a trip to the hospital. Thankfully, following a full medical evaluation, Connor was released, sore but with no injuries. The effort across the entire Exclusive Autosport lineup provided a fitting conclusion to another competitive weekend in the USF2000 championship.

The team continues to have four drivers in the top 10 of the championship standings with Cooley leading the way in fourth. The next stop on the schedule will take the team and the drivers to Portland International Raceway for Rounds 12 and 13 on August 6-9.

Although these aren’t the results we’re looking for, we still gained valuable experience, and we will keep pushing together going into Portland.
