“I’m excited about this new opportunity and hoping to run well and build off this start and add more races along the way,” said the 20 year-old, Lapcevich.
“Phoenix will be my first race on a one-mile track so I’ve been preparing as much as I can by watching film and working on the simulator. At this moment my focus is on Phoenix and getting my first taste of the ARCA series. I feel like I’m in a good place and my confidence level is high going into the weekend knowing Venturini Motorsports will unload us a fast Toyota.”

Nitro Motorsports is thrilled to announce Thad Moffitt as the first driver to join their team for the 2025 ARCA Menards Series season. Following their partnership announcement with Venturini Motorsports in November, Nitro Motorsports is ready to kick off its inaugural campaign with Moffitt behind the wheel of the #46 Toyota.
“I’m excited to partner with Nitro Motorsports for the 2025 ARCA season,” said Moffitt. “This is a great opportunity for me to be competitive and win races as I continue to progress in my career. I’m especially looking forward to working with Shannon Rursch, who’s joining us as our Team Leader—he’s a fantastic addition to the program.”
Nitro Motorsports Owner Nick Tucker echoed Moffitt’s enthusiasm, “Thad is an ideal fit for our program. His extensive experience in the ARCA Menards Series makes him the perfect leader for our debut season. We’ve been hard at work assembling a strong team to ensure we hit the ground running, and we can’t wait for the season opener.”
The 24-year-old Moffitt brings a wealth of experience, having competed in the ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli. With a fresh sense of motivation and support from Toyota, Moffitt is ready to lead Nitro Motorsports toward success in their first season.
“I’m heading into 2025 with more resources and confidence than ever, thanks to the backing of Toyota,” Moffitt added. “None of this would be possible without the incredible support from my partners: Safety-Kleen, Leer Truck Caps & Covers, Pristine Auction, Induction Innovations, Tasty Duck, and Petty’s Garage. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together, and I can’t wait to hit the track in Daytona!”
The 2025 ARCA Menards Series season kicks off on February 15th at Daytona International Speedway, where Moffitt and Nitro Motorsports will begin their quest for success.
