Cale Phillips Returns to Nitro Motorsports for 2026 TA2 Pro/Am Title Run

Nitro Motorsports is proud to confirm that Cale Phillips will return to the team for the full 2026 campaign in the Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli TA2 Pro/Am class, with his sights set firmly on the national championship.

Phillips enjoyed a strong 2025 season, demonstrating his speed and consistency across several events. His highlights included a second-place class finish at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) in the Pro/Am division, one of five podium results, and multiple top-ten results throughout the year. Phillips also led laps at Lime Rock Park after starting fifth and eventually finishing on the second step of the podium.

“I’m excited to return with Nitro Motorsports and go after the TA2 title in 2026,” explained a hungry Cale Phillips. “Last season showed me what’s possible, and this year I’m coming back stronger. I want to bring wins, podiums, and a championship home for the team. The goal is clear — fight for every point and leave nothing on the table.”

“Cale is a true racer and a driver that we expect to fight for the Pro/Am title in 2026,” expressed Nick Tucker, Co-Owner of Nitro Motorsports. “He stepped into a tough class, adapted quickly, and delivered results. Having him back this year strengthens the core of our TA2 program — and with the momentum he brings, I believe he’s got a real shot at the championship.”

With preseason preparations underway and development work ongoing at Nitro Motorsports’ shop, Phillips and the team are putting the final touches on the car and program that will support their championship push. Penske-level commitment to detail, combined with Phillips’s focus and experience from 2025, makes this 2026 effort one of the most anticipated TA2 campaigns in the paddock.
