GRRL! SUMMARY:
- KAYLEE COUNTRYMAN secured consecutive 10th-place finishes at Portland after starting 20th and 19th, navigating multiple incidents while executing smart recovery drives through chaotic races featuring numerous full-course yellows.
- The rookie F1 Academy driver, supported by Haas F1 Team, previously earned her maiden single-seater podium with second place in Montreal’s reverse-grid race after scoring first championship points earlier that weekend.
- COUNTRYMAN demonstrated strong situational awareness by using escape roads to avoid multi-car crashes and capitalizing on competitors’ mistakes, consistently gaining positions through attrition while maintaining defensive battles against Mohrardt throughout both races.
- Her Portland performance marks the strongest USF2000 weekend in 2026, building on previous season-best ninth at Indianapolis while balancing international commitments between USF2000, F1 Academy, and earlier UAE Formula 4 competition.
UPCOMING:
- USF2000 Streets of Markham, Ontario – Next Round
- F1 Academy at Zandvoort – August 22-23, 2026
