Elkhart Lake, Wis. (June 17, 2026) – Turn 3 Motorsport heads to Road America this weekend for Rounds 6 and 7 of the USF Pro 2000 Championship presented by Continental Tire. Michael Costello (#2), Leonardo Escorpioni (#4), Tyke Durst (#3), and Sebastian Manson (#22) will represent the team at the fan-favorite 4.014-mile, 14-turn road course as the championship battle continues to intensify entering the second half of the season.

The team arrives in Wisconsin carrying significant momentum following a historic Freedom 90 performance at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, where Escorpioni earned pole position and Costello captured his first career series victory. The team's first-ever 1-2 finish propelled Costello and Escorpioni into second and third in the Drivers Championship, while Turn 3 Motorsport leads the Team Championship with 122 points entering the Road America doubleheader.

Road America has long been one of the most anticipated stops on the calendar for drivers, teams, and fans alike, and Turn 3 Motorsport enters the weekend with confidence following a productive test at the circuit last week. While Brady Golan (#44) will miss the event due to a scheduling conflict with another racing commitment, he is expected to return to the lineup for the official Milwaukee Mile oval test on Monday, June 22.

With valuable championship points on the line and momentum firmly on its side, Turn 3 Motorsport will look to continue its strong start to the 2026 season at one of North America's premier road courses.
