ELLIE GOSSETT and CHARLOTTE TRAYNOR Show Top-20 Pace Despite Late Incidents

June 9, 2026

• ELLIE GOSSETT recovered from 29th on grid to finish 24th Saturday and 25th Sunday, earning back-to-back Highest Place Female Driver awards in her rookie campaign at Mid-Ohio.
• CHARLOTTE TRAYNOR surged from 35th to inside the top-20 Sunday before a gravel excursion with five minutes remaining ended her charge. Still posted season-best pace throughout the weekend.
• Both drivers demonstrated legitimate top-20 speed before late-race incidents intervened. GOSSETT ran as high as 20th while TRAYNOR held 16th before separate contacts dropped them down the order.
• GOSSETT leads the intra-team battle 38th in points (290) versus TRAYNOR’s 39th (280) heading to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in July, where both seek breakthrough results.
