Brayton Laster announces partial ARCA Menards Series schedule in 2026

GREENWOOD, Ind. – Brayton Laster will return to the ARCA Menards Series on a part-time basis in 2026, driving for Wayne Peterson Motorsports and Clubb Racing Inc.

The 23-year-old driver will compete part-time in the ARCA Menards Series in 2026, after competing full-time for Wayne Peterson Motorsports in 2025.

“I am really excited to have the opportunity to return to Wayne and his entire team in 2026. We had a lot of ups and downs last year, and by scaling back, we should be able to have more consistent ups across our 2026 campaign,” said Laster. “I also can’t wait to get behind the wheel of one of the Clubb Racing Inc. cars. Alex has really grown his program over the last couple of years, and this will be a really neat opportunity to work with him and his entire team. By scaling back to just part-time, it allows us to explore a couple of different options with racing this year at this level and also focus on some more local stuff.”

Laster’s schedule consists of both Kansas races, Pocono, Chicagoland, Lime Rock Park, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Springfield, DuQuoin and Salem. Laster’s first start of the season at Kansas will be with Wayne Peterson Motorsports, and his efforts at Springfield and DuQuoin will be with Clubb Racing Inc. Other race details, such as car number, crew chief, and regional sponsorship efforts, will be announced at a later date.

Partners PeerlessPump.com, KC Arborist Treee Care, @Cyber_Fox_ on X.com, AC-Cages.com, Matrix Apparel, AM Manufacturing Company, Craig & Vartorella, Running’s Racing Designs, and more will be supporting Laster’s efforts throughout the year.
