Takuma Koga will contest the full ARCA Menards Series schedule in 2026 with Fast Track Racing, he announced on Dec. 10.
“Locked in for 2026,” Koga posted on his Facebook page. “Fast Track Racing and I are going all out—full 20-race assault on the ARCA Main Series. Under Andy’s fearless leadership, I’m soaking up every lesson he throws my way. As a team, we’re charging forward with one mission: make this season our most explosive, unstoppable year yet!”
Koga became the second full-time driver announced on the 10th, joining Isabella Robusto, who will drive the No. 55 Toyota for Nitro Motorsports.
Koga will pilot the No. 12, the same number he used in his 2025 ARCA season.
After 125 ARCA Menards Series West starts, Koga joined FTR for the ’25 campaign. He ran the full ARCA Menards Series East season and made seven national division starts.
Koga placed fifth in the East driver standings with one top five – third at Flat Rock Speedway – and two top 10s.
Koga is the first full-time driver announced for team owner Andy Hillenburg’s organization. Hillenburg’s four full-time main series entries finished ninth, 12th, 15th and 17th in the owner point standings.
Mark Kristl joined Frontstretch at the beginning of the 2019 NASCAR season. He is the site's ARCA Menards Series editor. Kristl is also an Eagle Scout and a proud University of Dayton alum.
Isabella Robusto will be a nascar star!
