Kyle Steckly will make three starts with RAFA Racing Team in the ARCA Menards Series in 2026, Steckly and RAFA Racing announced on Friday (April 24).
Steckly will drive for the team at Watkins Glen International, Michigan International Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway with sponsorship from APC Auto Parts Centres.
While Steckly will drive a Toyota, no car number was announced. The team previously used the No. 2 in its lone ARCA platform start.
“I’m really excited to join RAFA Racing Team for these races,” Steckly said in the press release. “Their equipment is top-notch, and it’s clear they operate at a really high level. They’ve built a strong reputation on road courses, and I’m looking forward to working together to grow their program in the ARCA Menards series.
“I’m really grateful for the continued support of APC Auto Parts Centres and everyone involved for making these scheduled races with RAFA Racing Team possible. Watkins Glen is a great fit for our debut race with their road course experience and my NASCAR Canada road racing background.”
Steckly is a two-time APC United Late Model Series champion and has multiple starts in the NASCAR Canada Series.
He made his lone ARCA start in the 2025 season opener at Daytona International Speedway, unfortunately crashing out to a 32nd-place result.
RAFA has a presence in the sports car world, fielding a team in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for 2026.
The team debuted in the ARCA series in the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season finale at Phoenix Raceway. Isabella Robusto drove the No. 2 Toyota to an 11th-place finish.
In addition to her full-time duties in the national division with Nitro Motorsports, Robusto will pilot a RAFA Toyota in the 2026 ARCA West race at Phoenix on October 17.
