City Garage Motorsports announced plans to field two cars full time in the 2026 ARCA Menards Series East on Aug. 19.
The news comes as City Garage announces a partnership with Michael Clayton, who’s driven the team’s No. 5 part time this season.
“Our growth as a program this year has been rewarding, but we’re only just beginning,” CGM owner Stuart Weiss said in a team release. “Michael brings the missing ingredients to help us build a front-running program.”
The move to a full-time run comes after the organization competed part time in 2024 and 2025 in East, mostly with Becca Monopoli driving its No. 85.
The team said it plans to continue to field the Nos. 5 and 85 with the full-time effort, with the latter sponsored by Orlando Health.
The drivers for both cars were not announced in the release.
CGM also plans to participate in several ARCA Menards Series events in 2026 as it has in 2025, including the season opener at Daytona International Speedway.
In three East starts this season, Monopoli has one top 10, an eighth-place finish at Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville. Clayton’s best result is 22nd at Berlin Raceway in the main series.
