Takuma Koga will compete in the entire ARCA Menards Series in 2026, taking the wheel for Fast Track Racing and aiming to build on his recent momentum. The Takuma Koga ARCA 2026 season becomes official with his announcement on December 10, confirming his commitment to a rigorous campaign alongside other top names in the field.
Koga Teams with Fast Track Racing for a Full Schedule
Koga revealed his intent to tackle all 20 races in the 2026 ARCA Menards Series schedule by teaming up with Fast Track Racing, driven by the guidance of team owner Andy Hillenburg. The collaboration is not new for Koga, as he piloted the No. 12 car for the same team during the 2025 season. Paired with Hillenburg’s leadership, Koga is embracing every opportunity to learn and grow within the team environment.
“Fast Track Racing and I are going all out—full 20-race assault on the ARCA Main Series. Under Andy’s fearless leadership, I’m soaking up every lesson he throws my way. As a team, we’re charging forward with one mission: make this season our most explosive, unstoppable year yet!”
— Takuma Koga, Driver
Koga’s announcement marks him as the second confirmed full-time entry for 2026, joining Isabella Robusto, who will race the No. 55 Toyota for Nitro Motorsports. This places Koga among a competitive group looking to make their mark in the new season.
Reflecting on Recent Performances and Team Progress
With extensive experience from 125 ARCA Menards Series West starts, Koga transitioned to FTR for his 2025 campaign, making his presence known by competing throughout the ARCA Menards Series East and participating in seven national division events. During the 2025 season, Koga demonstrated consistency by securing fifth place in the East driver standings, achieving a podium finish with third at Flat Rock Speedway, as well as earning two top-10 finishes.
For Fast Track Racing and Andy Hillenburg, Koga’s full-time return signals a continued commitment to improvement. Hillenburg’s organization fielded four full-time entries in the previous year, placing ninth, 12th, 15th, and 17th in the owner point standings. Koga is the first driver announced for the team’s full-time 2026 effort, reflecting their focus and ambition for the coming season.
Anticipated Impact for the Team and Series
The upcoming Takuma Koga ARCA 2026 season represents a significant step forward for both the driver and team, with their eyes set firmly on making this campaign their most memorable series run. As other teams, including Nitro Motorsports and notable drivers like Isabella Robusto, shape their lineups, Fast Track Racing’s announcement positions them as a team to watch closely as the schedule approaches. Fans and competitors alike will be tracking Koga’s progress as the 2026 season unfolds, looking to see if this partnership can achieve standout results in the ARCA Menards Series.
