INDIANAPOLIS — Abacus Racing has partnered with Droplight to field a select-race USAC Silver Crown entry under the banner of Abacus Racing Powered by Droplight.
The new program will feature accomplished driver Kaylee Bryson behind the wheel of the No. 11 machine, making its debut this Sunday, June 7, during the OUTFRONT Route 66 Classic Presented by Welsch Heating & Cooling at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.
Droplight’s presence in motorsports continues to expand as the company deepens its commitment to grassroots racing through a new partnership with Abacus Racing for the 2026 USAC Silver Crown Series.
A key component of the program is the addition of Bryson, one of the most accomplished female drivers in USAC competition. In May 2024, she became the first female driver to win a USAC national feature event when she captured victory at Kansas’ Belleville High Banks in a Silver Crown event.
Bryson was named the 2022 USAC National Most Improved Driver, and in 2023, earned USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year honors.
Additionally, Bryson became the first woman to compete in the Saturday night A-Main at the 2022 Chili Bowl Nationals. In 2025, she became the first woman to win Trans-Am championships in two different classes.
“We’ve had the opportunity to work with Kaylee over the years, and she immediately stood out as a perfect fit for this program,” Abacus Racing Team Principal Brent Cox added. “Her talent, professionalism, and determination align with everything we’re trying to build.”
Joseph Anderson, Co-Founder and CEO of Droplight, echoed that sentiment.
“When Brent shared Kaylee’s racing résumé and her story, we immediately recognized not only an outstanding driver, but someone who embodies the values we look for in our partners and ambassadors,” said Anderson. “We believe she has tremendous potential both on and off the race track, and we’re excited to support the next chapter of her career.”
Bryson is equally enthusiastic about the opportunity.
“Having already built a strong relationship with Brent and the Abacus team, this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” said Bryson. “The professionalism, vision, and commitment behind this program are exciting. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent Abacus Racing, Droplight, and all of our partners, and I’m looking forward to getting started this weekend.”
The program will showcase Desnuda Organic Tequila as the primary sponsor for pavement events and Ichor Water as the primary sponsor for dirt events.
The No. 11 program will receive support from Postgame Ice, CG CPAs, Indy Custom Stone, Forecheck Marketing, Indy Powersports, Logical Systems Inc. (LSI), Design Service Solutions (DSS), and Droplight.
