Earning race wins, podium results, and championships from karting through the Trans Am Series, Nitro Motorsports is set for a new task in 2025 as they will compete in the ARCA Menards Series. The team will have a technical alliance with Venturini Motorsports and will receive engineering and driver support from Toyota.
“This is huge for us as a team and something that we have been looking to complete for quite some time,” explained Nick Tucker of Nitro Motorsports. “To add another rung to our driver development ladder by joining the winningest team in ARCA history shows our commitment to motorsports and driver development from karting through the upper tiers in motorsport. We are thankful for the opportunity and are well underway in building this program behind the scenes.”
“Nick Tucker and Nitro Motorsports have been a quality race team in every series that they have competed in. We look forward to helping accelerate their ARCA learning curve and helping them become a force to be reckoned with immediately. We already have great synergy between Venturini Motorsports and Nitro Motorsports, and we look forward to developing this relationship further,” added Billy Venturini, Owner of Venturini Motorsports.
“We are pleased to expand our team relationships in the ARCA Menards Series ranks by adding Nitro Motorsports to our accomplished roster,” said Trent Rodriguez, Manager, Driver Development, TRD U.S.A. “Our team has worked with Nick and the entire group at Nitro Motorsports for several years in Toyota GR Cup and Trans Am competition, and we are excited they are growing their program to compete in the ARCA Menards Series. We look forward to achieving much success together next season and in the years to come.”
Nitro Motorsports, in association with McClure Motorsports and Nitro Motorsports driver Thomas Annunziata, competed in four races in the 2024 season. Annunziata finished second at the Daytona International Speedway and fourth at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course after leading laps and fighting up front.
Tucker added, “A huge thank you to everyone who has helped make this dream become a reality. This is just the beginning.”
The confirmation of an ARCA Menards Series program in 2025 will complete the Nitro Motorsports ladder from karting to the Toyota GR Cup North America program and Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli.
