Zanella Racing driver returns to familiar ground for three-race USF Juniors finale

HUNTING VALLEY, Ohio – Maddie Colleran is set to close out her 2026 USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire campaign this weekend at Road America, returning to the historic Wisconsin circuit for the final three races of the championship with Zanella Racing.

Colleran arrives at the season finale with valuable experience already under her belt at the Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin facility. Earlier this year, she participated in the official USF Juniors series test at the circuit, gaining valuable seat time and an opportunity to learn the challenging 4.014-mile, 14-turn road course. She also returned to Road America during the USF2000 race weekend in June, turning additional laps during testing and further building her familiarity with the circuit.

Road America is one of North America's most iconic road courses, utilizing the natural elevation changes and rolling terrain of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine region. Its 4.014-mile layout makes it the longest circuit on the 2026 USF Juniors schedule and provides for close racing and a lot of overtaking thanks to the powerful draft.

“This season has been a huge learning experience for me, and I feel like I've grown so much as a driver from the first race to where we are now,” explained Colleran. “Coming back to Road America is exciting because I've already had some experience here through the USF Juniors test and the USF2000 weekend, so I have a better understanding of what to expect. There is still a lot I want to accomplish this weekend, and I'm going to take everything I've learned this year and put it all together for the final three races. I'm really looking forward to finishing the season strong with Zanella Racing.”

With three races remaining, Colleran will look to make the most of her final laps of the 2026 season and carry the experience gained throughout the year into the next chapter of her racing career. The Road America weekend will begin Thursday with two test sessions followed by practice in the afternoon. Friday will feature qualifying and Race 1, while Saturday will bring a doubleheader to close out the championship with Races 2 and 3. Fans can follow the action throughout the weekend, with qualifying and all three races available through the official USF Juniors live timing and broadcast platform at usfjuniors.com/results/live-timing.
