Martella delivered a standout rookie campaign in 2025, highlighted by a prestigious victory in the Freedom 75 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in May, showcasing his skill and composure on the oval. Over the course of the season, the 17-year-old added multiple top-five and top-10 results, culminating in a strong seventh-place finish in the championship standings. With a year of experience and a major win already under his belt, Martella returns to Exclusive Autosport with momentum and determination as he looks to contend for the 2026 USF2000 title.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud to announce that I will be competing with Exclusive Autosport in the 2026 USF2000 season,\u201d enthused Martella. \u201cThis is a major step in my development, and I\u2019m incredibly grateful to Josh Cooley, Michael Duncalfe, Kevin Savoree, Green Savoree, NIN Transport, Young Drivers of Canada, and especially my parents for their support. After a strong rookie season, I\u2019m looking forward to getting back on track and getting to work. Bring on 2026!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnthony Martella is a driver we&#8217;ve been keeping an eye on after his terrific win at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Indy 500 Carb Night this spring,\u201d said Kevin Savoree, Co-Owner and COO of Green Savoree Racing Promotions. \u201cBy way of our Ontario Honda Dealers Indy event, we&#8217;ve had an opportunity to get to know Anthony, his father Tony, and Anthony&#8217;s whole family. It&#8217;s important for our event in Markham to have rising Canadian drivers like Anthony perform at a high level and develop into INDYCAR drivers. We look forward to working with Anthony and following his continued climb up the racing ladder in the USF2000 Championship next year with Exclusive Autosport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to have Anthony back under the Exclusive Autosport banner,\u201d said Josh Cooley, Co-Owner and President. \u201cThis past season, he showed that he has great pace and that he can be a contender every race, especially with his standout performance on the oval at IRP, winning the Freedom 75 in May. I look forward to seeing him work again with our veteran engineer, Louis D\u2019Agostino, and the entire Exclusive Autosport crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Exclusive Autosport is pleased to be able to partner with a great company &#8211; Corpay Cross-Border Solutions (https:\/\/cross-border.corpay.com\/exclusive-autosport\/) &#8211; who specialize in helping companies of all sizes power their international payments, execute plans to manage their currency risk and support their growth around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Exclusive Autosport is also happy to partner with the state-of-the-art establishment of Autobahn Country Club and their Autobahn Driver Academy (https:\/\/autobahncc.com\/driver-academy\/) &#8211; our collaboration will offer aspiring racers comprehensive training in open-wheel racing, leveraging EA\u2019s proven track record of success in developing talent from grassroots levels to professional racing careers.
