Huge Opportunity: Landon Brown Joins Nitro Motorsports for ARCA Season Finale at Kansas Speedway
What started at Kansas Speedway earlier this year is coming full circle.
Landon Brown will return to Kansas Speedway for the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season finale, this time behind the wheel of the No. 15 Toyota Camry for Nitro Motorsports.
For Landon Brown Racing, this represents one of the biggest opportunities of Landon’s young career.
A New Opportunity with Nitro Motorsports
Nitro Motorsports has quickly established itself as one of the premier organizations in the ARCA Menards Series and an important part of Toyota Racing’s driver-development pipeline.
Throughout the 2026 season, Nitro cars have consistently competed near the front of the field. At the first Kansas Speedway race in April, Nitro Motorsports placed multiple cars inside the top ten, including Jake Bollman in third, Gavan Boschele in fourth, and the No. 15 Toyota in seventh.
Now Landon will have his opportunity behind the wheel of that No. 15.
For a driver still in the earliest stages of his stock-car career, the chance to work with an organization of Nitro’s caliber, experienced personnel, and Toyota Racing resources is an important next step.
Back Where the ARCA Journey Began
There could not be a more fitting place for the opportunity.
Kansas Speedway is where Landon first climbed into a current-generation ARCA car earlier this year.
Coming directly from open-wheel racing, Landon arrived at Kansas having never competed in a full-size stock car. Suddenly he was learning a 3,400-pound, 650-plus-horsepower race car on a 1.5-mile speedway at speeds approaching 180 mph.
That initial Kansas test opened the door to everything that followed.
Landon went on to make his ARCA debut at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, where he qualified sixth in a 21-car field and raced near the front before a mechanical failure ended his night.
He then made his ARCA Menards Series national debut at Chicagoland Speedway before competing at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. At IRP, Landon qualified 14th out of 34 cars and just over half a second from the pole.
The final finishing positions have not always reflected the speed Landon has shown, but each race has brought valuable experience and continued improvement.
Now he gets to take everything he has learned back to Kansas.
From No. 15 to No. 15
There is also something pretty special about the number on the side of the car.
Long before ARCA, 15 was Landon’s number.
It was on his karts as he developed his racecraft at New Castle Motorsports Park. It followed him into the Kenyon Midget Series as he became a race winner, Rookie of the Year, track-record holder and championship contender.
Now, for the biggest opportunity of his racing career to date, the No. 15 returns.
This time, it will be on a Nitro Motorsports Toyota at Kansas Speedway.
One More Chance to Show What We Can Do
When we began this season, simply making an ARCA start seemed like a tremendous accomplishment.
A few months later, Landon has competed at Nashville, Chicagoland and Indianapolis Raceway Park, raced on national television, and continued proving that he can adapt quickly to a completely different form of racing.
Kansas gives him another opportunity—but this one feels different.
This is an opportunity to step into competitive equipment with a team accustomed to racing at the front of the ARCA field and see what Landon can do with everything he has learned over the course of the season.
We are incredibly grateful to Nitro Motorsports and Toyota Racing for the opportunity and confidence they have shown in Landon.
We also remain thankful to everyone who helped get him to this point. Every person, business partner, crew member, friend and supporter who has been part of this journey has helped create opportunities that once seemed almost impossible.
The goal at Kansas is simple:
Learn. Compete. Execute. And make the most of the opportunity.
The ARCA journey started at Kansas.
Now we get to go back.
Same track. Familiar number. A completely new opportunity.
And we cannot wait to see what happens next.
