Despite missing two rounds earlier this season at Markham, Canada, the Turn 3 Motorsport driver has continued to chip away at the points gap and now arrives at Road America just 17 points behind the current championship leader. Rounds 16, 17 and 18 will decide the 2026 title over the September 24-26 tripleheader weekend, giving Escorpioni three final opportunities to close the gap, and earn his second championship title in as many seasons.

Escorpioni carries momentum into the finale after a runner-up finish at the Milwaukee Mile, his second oval podium of the season, and will look to build on that form on one of North America's most historic road courses.

“We know exactly what's in front of us heading into Road America,” commented Escorpioni. “It's going to take three strong races to fight for this championship, and I feel good about where our program is right now. The team has given me everything I need all season, and missing those two rounds just makes me want to attack even harder this weekend. We're going to go for it in every session and see where we land.”

With the title still very much within reach, Escorpioni and the Turn 3 Motorsport team will look to translate recent momentum into results across all three races, aiming to close the championship gap and put themselves in position to fight for the 2026 USF Pro 2000 Championship title on the final weekend of the season.
