Brenden Cooley is a competitive amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 2,118, placing him among club and developing drivers working towards the professional level. His record spans three seasons from 2024 to 2026, primarily in USF Juniors where he has made 29 starts, recording one podium finish and an average result of P12.5. He has also competed twice in USF2000, the higher rung of the same ladder. Cooley remains active as of 2026.[1]
Cooley's head-to-head record reveals a mixed picture against his regular rivals. He holds a strong advantage over Connor Aspley and Maddie Colleran, finishing ahead of them in the majority of their shared races; however, he trails more consistently against Vilho Aatola and Patricio Gonzalez, both rated considerably higher. Against Joao Vergara, an FIA Silver graded driver, Cooley has found consistent success, finishing ahead in 17 of 20 shared races. He has beaten several drivers from stronger grades in single instances, including 2025 USF2000 champion Jack Jeffers and Leonardo Escorpioni, who won the 2025 USF Juniors championship, though these remain isolated results rather than patterns of dominance.
A notable recent result came in the USF2000 Freedom 75 at Sebring in May 2026, where Cooley secured a win after the race leader was removed in a crash. This remains his sole victory across his 31 recorded starts and suggests he is capable of converting opportunities when circumstances favour him, though consistency in the field has yet to follow.
