Sam Corry Signs With Nitro Motorsports for 2026 TA2 Program

Nitro Motorsports announced on Friday that Sam Corry has signed with the team for a full-season campaign in the 2026 Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli TA2 class. Corry will also make two starts for the team in the ARCA Menards Series at Watkins Glen International and Portland International Raceway.

Corry scored a victory at Circuit of The Americas in the TA2 Pro/Am class in 2024. In 2025, the Lake Norman, North Carolina native earned his first CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series victory at Lime Rock Park with a late-race pass on Thomas Annunziata.

Corry earned seven top-fives and 10 top-10s during the 12-race TA2 Series championship in 2025, finishing second in the championship standings. Now, he hopes to continue his progression and compete for the title again in 2026.

“I’m really excited to be back with Nitro Motorsports for 2026 and to make a full run at the TA2 championship,” said Corry in Nitro Motorsports' announcement. “Last year showed me how competitive and demanding this class is, and I feel like we’ve built the foundation we need to fight for wins right away.

"My goal is simple — contend for the championship, fight for race wins and podium results, continue improving every weekend, and make the most of the opportunity to grow through the ARCA races as well. I’m grateful to Nick (Tucker) and Joe (Tovo) and everyone at Nitro Motorsports for believing in me and giving me the tools to keep moving forward.”

“Sam has been a key part of our program and someone we’ve believed in from the start,” added Nitro Motorsports co-owner Nick Tucker. “He’s mature, fast, and incredibly focused — exactly what you need to succeed.

"His pace last year showed he’s ready to fight at the front and giving him a couple of ARCA starts will only accelerate his growth and possibly provide a look into the future. We’re excited to have him back and fully expect him to be a championship contender in 2026.”

Along with the 2026 TA2 championship campaign, Corry will undergo a full testing schedule and select ARCA Menards Series appearances as part of Nitro Motorsports' driver development platform. Corry made three starts in the ARCA Menards Series in 2025, with a best finish of seventh at Iowa Speedway.

Corry's success in a variety of categories, including Trans Am, open-wheel and national karting, has elevated his status and recognition among young drivers competing in North America.
