Kaylee Countryman (born January 3, 2010) is an American racing driver who competes in F1 Academy for ART Grand Prix and the USF2000 Championship for JHDD powered by ECR.
Career Karting and first year in single-seaters (2022–2025) Countryman began karting in 2022, competing until 2024. Also in 2024, Countryman made her debut in single-seaters by racing in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series, before testing USF Juniors machinery at the end of the year in the Chris Griffis Memorial Test.
The following year, Countryman joined Exclusive Autosport to make her full-time debut in USF Juniors. Following a difficult opening two rounds of the season, Countryman took her first top-ten at Mid-Ohio in June, before bettering her season-best result by finishing eighth a month later at the same venue. Later that same month in Road America, Countryman took her third top 10 finish in race one, before ending the season with her fourth and final top-ten finish in Portland en route to a 16th-place points finish. After her rookie season in USF Juniors, Countryman partook in F1 Academy's two-day in-season test at Navarra, replacing Courtney Crone, who was absent due to prior commitments.
During 2025, Countryman also raced with the team in the YACademy Winter Series and select rounds of the Atlantic Championship in USF Juniors machinery, in which she most notably scored wins at Mid-Ohio and Road America in the latter to secure third in points. Countryman also made select appearances in the USF2000 Championship for Exclusive Autosport, before partaking in the UAE-based Formula Trophy with Pinnacle Motorsport at the end of the year.
F1 Academy and USF2000 rookie campaigns (2026)
At the start of 2026, Countryman returned to Pinnacle Motorsport to race in the first three rounds of the UAE4 Series. Following that, she partnered up with ART Grand Prix for her rookie season in F1 Academy, as took over the Haas F1 Team-sponsored entry from Crone. After a difficult season-opening Shanghai round, Countryman bounced back in the following round at Montreal, finishing seventh in race one and scoring her maiden podium by finishing second in the reverse-grid race two.
Alongside her rookie campaign in F1 Academy, Countryman remained with Exclusive Autosport for her first full campaign in USF2000. After switching to JHDD powered by ECR from round two onwards, Countryman scored her maiden top 10 in the series, finishing a season-best ninth on her debut with the team at Indianapolis.
