The 2025 season was a year of firsts, challenges and some unforgettable highs. It was my second year in the USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire USF2000 series and the first year for our brand-new team, Benchmark Autosport, founded by my dad, Kevin Houk. We built this program from the ground up, partnering with Don Conner of DC Autosport to create a competitive team that could take on some of the most established names in the paddock.
