MAN Motorsports announced today that driver Jackson McLerran will return to competition during the 2026 season with the ARCA Menards Series, competing in a limited schedule with the team.
The 2026 season will mark McLerran’s third year with MAN Motorsports as the young driver continues to build on the momentum gained during the 2025 season. In five starts last year, McLerran recorded two top-10 finishes and several strong runs that showcased both his development behind the wheel and the team’s growing competitiveness.
“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.”
In addition to on-track progress, the team also gained increased exposure after being included in the upcoming NASCAR 25 video game, bringing additional attention to both McLerran and the MAN Motorsports program.
“I could not be here without my sponsors and family who continue to believe in me and our team,” McLerran added.
McLerran’s 2026 campaign will be supported by a strong group of partners 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).
The MAN Motorsports crew will kick off their 2026 season on March 28 at historic Hickory Motor Speedway for the ARCA Menards Series East season opener.
With valuable experience gained and a strong support system behind him, McLerran and the MAN Motorsports team look to make the most of their limited 2026 schedule while continuing to build toward future success in ARCA competition
