Leland Honeyman joins Nitro Motorsports for 2026 ARCA Menards Series season

Leland Honeyman has a new home for the 2026 racing season. On Tuesday, Honeyman announced that he will drive the No. 20 Toyota full-time for Nitro Motorsports during the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season. Honeyman currently drives the No. 70 Xfinity car part-time for Cope Family Racing.

Nitro Motorsports bought Venturini Motorsports in a stunning transaction that shook the ARCA Menards Series to its core. Now, the ARCA Menards Series organization will look to have the same success that Venturini Motorsports established over the last decade.

Honeyman is a perfect addition to Nitro Motorsports’ driver lineup and will be among the championship favorites when the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season begins at Daytona International Speedway in mid-February. Plenty of moves will come in the ARCA Menards Series, but this is the first big domino.
