MAN Motorsports has confirmed that Jackson McLerran will be returning to the ARCA Menards Series in 2026, racing on a limited schedule with the team. This season marks McLerran’s third with MAN Motorsports, as he builds on the skills and experience gained during his 2025 campaign.
Building Momentum After a Strong 2025 Season
During the 2025 season, McLerran made five appearances, earning two top-10 finishes and several competitive rides that highlighted both his growth as a driver and MAN Motorsports’ improving performance. The results demonstrate steady progress and offer promise for the upcoming year.
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.
Increased Exposure and Support
The team’s profile rose thanks in part to their inclusion in the forthcoming NASCAR 25 video game, providing additional visibility for both McLerran and MAN Motorsports. The 2026 season will also be supported by a strong group 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).
I could not be here without my sponsors and family who continue to believe in me and our team,
McLerran added.
Season Opener and Future Prospects
MAN Motorsports will begin the 2026 campaign at Hickory Motor Speedway on March 28 with the ARCA Menards Series East opener. With valuable track experience behind him and substantial partner support, McLerran aims to maximize the opportunities presented by the limited schedule while continuing to develop toward long-term success in the ARCA Menards Series.
