Second-year driver targeting podiums and wins in 2026
BROWNSBURG, IN – Exclusive Autosport is thrilled to announce that Missouri native Connor Aspley will take the next step in his open-wheel career as he joins Exclusive Autosport for the 2026 USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire season. After an impressive 2025 rookie campaign in USF Juniors, Connor quickly established himself through steady progression with one top-five finish and four top-10s in a very competitive field, showing strong racecraft, and the development of front-running pace. Aspley will look to build on that momentum with EA as he continues an extensive off-season testing program with the team. The 20-year-old will enter the new season well-prepared and fully integrated with the crew, ready to produce solid results and continue his path up the USF Pro Championships ladder.
“I am excited to announce that I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with such an amazingly talented team like Exclusive Autosport for the 2026 USF Juniors season,” enthused Aspley. “Everyone on the team has treated me like family since the second I showed up, developing not only my skills on the track, but off the track as well. See you on that podium in 2026.”
“We’re extremely excited to have Connor join the Exclusive Autosport team for the 2026 USF Juniors season,” said Josh Cooley, Co-Owner and President. “With Connor now having a full season under his belt, I’m looking forward to seeing him build on the progression he showed throughout the 2025 season. With an off-season testing program in place, he will be up front fighting for podiums and wins for a successful second season in the series. We believe he’s ready to take a strong step forward, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.”
A graduate of the Lucas Oil School of Racing program, Connor learned on the go last year and developed quickly. He scored just 37 points in the first half of the season in 2025 and then almost doubled the output in the second half on the strength of a solid weekend at Road America. As the off-season continues, Aspley remains fully committed to his testing program with Exclusive Autosport, sharpening every detail to ensure he’s ready to contend for a strong result in the opening rounds of 2026 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway road course on February 16-18, 2026.
