HUNTING VALLEY, Ohio – Maddie Colleran is set to kick off her 2026 USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire campaign this week at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Taking on the first race weekend of the season with Zanella Racing in the #29 entry, the young female is looking to build off recent events and further her experience in USF Juniors competition.

“Having the chance to race in Homestead during the Winter Series was huge for me,” explained Colleran. “Homestead is a tough track, but I feel like I learned a lot and really started to understand what it takes to be quick here.”

Colleran heads into the weekend with valuable momentum after recently competing in the YACademy Winter Series at the same track. The additional seat time provided critical experience and familiarity with the circuit, allowing her to arrive prepared and confident for her USF Juniors debut weekend of the year.

“I’m excited to get the season started with Zanella Racing and see how we can build from that experience,” Colleran added.

As the green flag approaches in Homestead, Colleran looks ready to turn preparation into performance as she begins her 2026 USF Juniors journey. The race weekend will begin with a full day of testing on Monday. Tuesday will feature the first official practice session, qualifying and race one of the weekend. The event will conclude on Wednesday with a final qualifying session followed by two races to complete the opening round of the 2026 USF Juniors season.
