STATESVILLE, N.C. — Motorsports Business Management and Tyler Tomassi are renewing their partnership for 2026, kicking off the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season with an entry for the No. 69 Ford F-150 in the season-opening Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
The 22-year-old Rhode Island native made his drafting track debut at Talladega Superspeedway in October. He ran in the lead draft for the duration of the race, until cutting a left-rear tire under green in Stage 3. Both driver and team are eagerly anticipating running another superspeedway event together.
“Racing at Daytona is an absolute dream come true for any race car driver, and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to race at this historic track,” said Tomassi. “After our pace at Talladega, I have every reason to believe that we will be competitive. I want to thank Carl Long for his continued belief in me, as well as my family, friends, and supporters. See you at Daytona.”
MBM Motorsports team owner Carl Long is looking forward to the dawn of a new season while continuing to contribute to Tyler’s growth on the race track.
“Tyler experienced many firsts with our team in 2025: his first 2.5-mile track, his first road course, his first superspeedway,” said Long. “As a team, it is rewarding to provide a platform for young drivers to learn the ropes of NASCAR and assist their improvement behind the wheel. Tyler had Top 10 speed in his truck when that cut tire trapped us laps down at Talladega. We are excited to give him another chance to bring home a top 10.”
