MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Nitro Motorsports is excited to announce that rising star Jade Avedisian will join the team for a partial ARCA Menards Series program in 2026.
Driving a Toyota Camry and supported by powerhouse partners Mobil 1 and Yahoo, the move marks another significant step forward in Avedisian’s career and the Nitro Motorsports driver development ladder.
Avedisian has already established herself as one of the most dynamic young drivers in American motorsports, and her transition into ARCA follows a successful run in the Toyota GR Cup North America program with Nitro Motorsports. In 2025, she started a pair of ARCA Menards Series events with Venturini Motorsports but is looking to build on that effort in 2026. Her progression reflects the team’s commitment to advancing talented drivers through its multi-series pathway, from karting to NASCAR competition.
“I’m really excited to take the next step in my career with Nitro Motorsports,” expressed Jade Avedisian. “Nitro Motorsports has been a huge part of my growth and transition into asphalt competition. Each level has taught me something new, and now getting the opportunity to move into ARCA is something I’ve worked hard for. I know there’s a lot to learn with these cars and these tracks, but I’m ready for the challenge and grateful to have Mobil 1, Yahoo, and Toyota supporting this next chapter.”
“Jade is exactly the kind of talent our program is designed to support,” added Tucker. “Her professionalism and her ability to adapt across different platforms make her an exciting young driver. She’s been impressive at every step, and now we’re looking forward to helping her succeed in ARCA. With the support of Mobil 1, Yahoo, and Toyota, we believe Jade will turn heads in 2026.”
Avedisian’s partial-season schedule with Nitro Motorsports will be announced at a later date, along with additional team and partner details for the upcoming year.
Nitro Motorsports continues to grow its presence across multiple racing disciplines, including ARCA, Trans Am TA2, Toyota GR Cup North America, karting, and additional developmental categories—building one of the strongest driver pipelines in North American motorsports.
Nitro Motorsports will release additional details about its 2026 ARCA driver lineup, partners, and program elements in the coming weeks.
