MAN Motorsports has officially confirmed that driver Jackson McLerran will return to compete in the ARCA Menards Series for the 2026 season, participating in a selective schedule with the team. This upcoming season marks McLerran’s third year racing with MAN Motorsports as he continues his steady progression within the series.
Building Momentum from the 2025 Campaign
During the 2025 season, McLerran made five starts, achieving two top-10 finishes and demonstrating strong performances that highlighted both his growing skills behind the wheel and the team’s increasing competitiveness. These results have set a solid foundation for the driver and team to improve upon in 2026.
I am really excited to return to ARCA competition with MAN Motorsports,
McLerran said.
We have become a family as I am entering my third year with the team. We had two top-10 finishes with five starts in 2025 and some solid runs. It was a great learning year for me, and now it’s time to build on that.
Expanded Exposure and Strong Sponsorship Support
Beyond the on-track achievements, MAN Motorsports and McLerran gained additional attention by being featured in the forthcoming NASCAR 25 video game, elevating their profile ahead of the new season. McLerran emphasized his gratitude for the ongoing backing from his supporters and partners.
I could not be here without my sponsors and family who continue to believe in me and our team,
McLerran added.
His 2026 effort will be supported by a robust lineup of sponsors, including JSJ Construction, ARYLCO LLC, Midsouth Electrical, Firemark Property Management, Jetton Realty, Cedar City RV, Five Star Beverages, Bubba’s ‘Bout Broke Podcast, and RTP Sports (Randy The Plumber).
Looking Ahead to the 2026 Season
The team plans to launch their 2026 campaign on March 28 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway for the ARCA Menards Series East season opener. With the experience gained from last year and a dedicated support network, McLerran and MAN Motorsports aim to make a strong impact during their selective schedule and continue building momentum toward future success in ARCA competition.
