Abacus, Droplight launch select-race USAC Silver Crown campaign
Abacus Racing and Droplight announced they will co‑field a select‑race entry branded Abacus Racing Powered by Droplight, with Kaylee Bryson piloting the No. 11 car. The program is scheduled to debut June 7 at the OUTFRONT Route 66 Classic Presented by Welsch Heating & Cooling at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois. Team officials called it a targeted, sponsor‑backed select‑race campaign rather than a full‑season program and said it will include both pavement and dirt events under the USAC Silver Crown banner. Desnuda Organic Tequila will serve as the primary sponsor for pavement events and Ichor Water will back the team on dirt. Additional financial and technical support comes from Postgame Ice, CG CPAs, Indy Custom Stone, Forecheck Marketing, Indy Powersports, Logical Systems Inc., and Design Service Solutions. Team Principal Brent Cox and Droplight executives said the partnership grew from shared values around grassroots racing and brand development and fits Droplight’s broader motorsports strategy; the release framed the effort as both a competitive entry and a marketing alliance that differentiates sponsorship by surface. The announcement named Bryson as the lead driver and highlighted her recent accomplishments: USAC National Most Improved Driver in 2022; racing in the 2022 Chili Bowl Saturday A‑Main; USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year in 2023; becoming the first woman to win a USAC national feature at Belleville High Banks in May 2024; and in 2025 becoming the first woman to win Trans‑Am championships in two classes.
