Caleb Costner has revealed plans to establish Costner Motorsports as a competitor in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series beginning in 2026. The new venture aims to extend Costner’s involvement in professional motorsports, building on his previous experience in ARCA Menards Series competition.
Transition from ARCA Menards Series to Truck Series
Costner Motorsports, which previously participated in the ARCA Menards Series on a part-time basis, now intends to step up to the national level. While the team shared its plans to enter the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, it has not yet disclosed its full schedule or further season details. What is confirmed is that the team will compete using the No. 93 truck when it appears on track.
Recent Activity and Racing Experience
Earlier this month, Caleb Costner put the No. 93 through its paces at Daytona International Speedway as part of ARCA testing, demonstrating ongoing preparation for higher-level competition. In addition to his ARCA efforts, Costner made his NASCAR Truck Series debut in 2025 with Mike Harmon Racing, participating in six events and achieving a best finish of 22nd at Phoenix Raceway.
The Organization’s Development and Personnel
The expansion marks a significant growth for Costner Motorsports as it navigates from ARCA operations to the more competitive landscape of the Truck Series. While specific plans regarding the 2026 season—such as the driver lineup or team structure—have yet to be announced, the move reflects Caleb Costner’s continuing ambition and adaptability within American stock car racing.
This new direction could influence team dynamics and competition in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, providing opportunities for both driver and organization to make their mark at a national level. Fans and industry observers will be watching to see how Costner Motorsports shapes its inaugural season in 2026.
