Kaminskey Masters Ferrari Challenge Field at COTA

Sunny skies welcomed Ferrari race fans at Circuit of The Americas on Saturday – highlighting not only Ferrari Challenge North America racing action, but also cars on track across the XX Program, F1 Clienti and Sport Prototipi Clienti.

With longhorns strolling the grid and a duo of jet planes flying overhead after the national anthems, Saturday was a spectacle to behold for Ferrari Challenge.

Trofeo Pirelli

Johnny Kaminskey (Ferrari of Long Island) continued his winning ways on Saturday, with the teenage phenom now victorious in four of the first five rounds of the season.

Kaminskey qualified first on Saturday morning before claiming the checkered flag just .640 seconds over Manny Franco (Ferrari Lake Forest).

Franco and the Trofeo Pirelli field had an opportunity to jump on Kaminskey with a restart at ten minutes remaining, but the youngster prevailed.

Roberto Perrina finished third with Ferrari of Seattle to stand on the podium once again this year.

Representing the Lone Star State with a victory in Trofeo Pirelli Am was Jay Logan (Ferrari of Austin). Not only was it Logan’s first victory of 2026, but he finally reached the top step after three runner-up finishes last season in the same class.

Logan started and finished first ahead of Yahn Bernier (Ferrari of Seattle) in second, and Joe Rubbo (Ferrari of Long Island) in third. This is Bernier’s third podium of the season, and Rubbo’s first in his debut this year.

Coppa Shell

The Coppa Shell race ended under full-course yellow, but the result gave Charlie Menard (Twin Cities Performance) his first win of the year after a duo of podium finishes last round at Sebring International Raceway.

Via a three-wide pass midway through the 30-minute contest, Menard advanced from third to first en route to the win.

Class championship leader Blake Rosser (Ferrari of San Diego) finished second, while polesitter Michael Owens (Ferrari of Alberta) completed the Coppa Shell podium in third place.

On the heels of her first Ferrari Challenge victory on North American soil at Sebring, Melissa Kozyra (Ferrari of Naples) doubled down with another win on Saturday at COTA in the Coppa Shell Am class.

The race ran mostly under a yellow flag, but Kozyra was still forced to defend her position against a hard-charging opponent in second place, Fabian Sperman (The Collection).

The two were close in the final minutes before the race-ending caution, but Kozyra prevailed for her second win of 2026.

Sperman entered the COTA rounds two points in arrears of Kozyra in the title race, and remains close before Sunday’s event.

Behind Sperman in third place was Henry Hummel (Ferrari Lake Forest), his best result of 2026 through four rounds.

Sunday morning’s activities at Circuit of The Americas begin with qualifying at 8:45 a.m. CT, prior to the final races of the event. The Coppa Shell race goes green at 2:45 p.m., followed by Trofeo Pirelli at 4 p.m.
