HUNTING VALLEY, Ohio – Maddie Colleran is set to return to the cockpit this weekend as USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire heads to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the fourth event weekend of the 2026 season. Racing with Zanella Racing, Colleran will compete alongside the complete USF Pro Championships ladder, as well as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, during one of the biggest weekends on the North American open-wheel calendar over the Fourth of July holiday.
The event marks another opportunity for Colleran to continue building momentum during her second season of USF Juniors. After showing steady improvement throughout the opening rounds, the young driver is eager to translate recent progress into another strong weekend at one of the country's most respected road courses. Returning to USF Juniors after a recent test in USF2000, Colleran is looking to take the experience from a faster car and use it this weekend.
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course has been a staple of American open-wheel racing for decades. The 2.258-mile, 13-turn circuit will be the home for the USF Juniors Championship, and as they share the stage with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, drivers will compete in front of one of the largest crowds of the season.
"I'm really excited to get back behind the wheel at Mid-Ohio,” said Colleran. “It's such an iconic track, and getting to race during the INDYCAR weekend makes it even more special. We've continued to make progress every race this season, and I feel like we're headed in the right direction. The team has been working incredibly hard, and I'm looking forward to putting together a clean weekend and continuing to build on everything we've learned so far."
With another opportunity to gain valuable experience at one of North America's premier road courses, Colleran and Zanella Racing head to Mid-Ohio focused on continuing their development and adding another strong performance to the 2026 season.
The race weekend will begin Thursday with testing before the official on-track action starts Friday with practice, qualifying and Race One. The weekend will conclude Saturday with Race Two.
