ORLANDO, Fla. – Zanella Racing delivered a competitive and encouraging performance this past weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) during the second event weekend of the USF Juniors Presented by Continental season, highlighted by multiple podium finishes and steady improvement across its driver lineup.

Olivier Mrak led the charge for the team, securing a strong second-place finish in Race Two after showing consistent pace throughout the weekend. Max Mokarem added another podium result with a second-place finish in Race Three, continuing the team’s presence at the front of the field.

Leonardo Serravalle delivered a well-rounded weekend, finishing inside the top 10 in all three races. He recorded a top-10 result in Race One, followed by an impressive fifth-place finish in Race Two and a seventh-place finish in Race Three.

The remainder of the Zanella Racing lineup continued to show development and progress throughout the event. Grant Mitchell and Maddie Colleran both made steady gains, improving session by session. Jared Oselka demonstrated consistent progression in each race, while Victor Couto capped off the weekend with a top-five finish in Race Three after building pace through the earlier sessions.

“It was a very positive weekend for us overall," said Team Owner Jose Zanella. "To come away with multiple podiums and see strong improvement across all of our drivers is exactly what we are working toward. Olivier and Max did a great job putting us on the podium, and it was encouraging to see Leonardo consistently in the top 10. The entire group continues to make progress, and that is what will keep us moving forward as the season continues.”

With podium finishes and continued development across the board, Zanella Racing leaves Carolina Motorsports Park with momentum as it builds toward the next stage of the USF Juniors season. Zanella Racing will now regroup and prepare for an upcoming test at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course next week, where the team will continue to refine its program ahead of the next round of competition.
