INDIANAPOLIS — Abacus Racing announced today that Muskogee, Okla. native Kaylee Bryson will pilot the No. 58 as a teammate to Logan Seavey for the sixth running of the BC39 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sept. 26-28, 2024.
“Kaylee and I have known each other for a while, and there has been a mutual desire to have her drive for us someday,” said Brent Cox, team principal for Abacus Racing. “We came close a few other times, but various issues prevented that from happening. But I reached out to her a few weeks ago and asked her if she had a BC39 ride and she said she did not, so that put the process in motion.”
For Abacus, it will give the organization two drivers with a winning pedigree. With Seavey as its driver, Abacus has won two races in 2024 in the USAC National Midget Series, coming off a season when they won the 2023 championship, along with the 2023 USAC Silver Crown Championship as co-entrant with Rice Motorsports. They are currently leading the USAC National Sprint Car championship standings.
Bryson, in May, became the first woman to win a USAC National Series feature race when she won at the Belleville High Banks in the USAC Silver Crown Series. She recently won her second Trans-Am Super GT Class Series race and was the first woman to make the A-main in the Chili Bowl.
“As a driver, you always want to know that you have a chance to win. I have watched what Abacus has done these last few years, and so I know we will have a great car for the BC39,” Bryson said. “And having a teammate like Logan does not hurt, obviously. They put both of their cars in the BC39 last year and the goal is to do the same this year.”
Abacus Racing is powered by Stanton Engines, with Spike Chassis and CSI Shocks.
Primary sponsorship for the No. 58 entry will come from Indy Powersports.
