ARCA Menards Series team Nitro Motorsports and driver Leland Honeyman Jr. have resolved a February lawsuit stemming from an alleged contractual dispute.
The team announced the conclusion of this short legal spat with a statement posted to social media, saying the two have resolved the issues, wishing Honeyman the best in his efforts for 2026.
This post did not indicate whether Honeyman would continue with the team in his planned part-time role or take his abilities elsewhere following the lawsuit filed by Nitro on February 27, 2026.
The lawsuit, filed in February, claimed that following a missed payment as part of his full-time plans with the team in 2026, Honeyman would move to part-time status in the No. 15.
Though he was initially slated to drive the team’s No. 20 full-time, a car now driven by Jake Bollman, the lawsuit said he agreed to the change and was even enthusiastic about it.
However, on February 17, 2026, Honeyman disagreed with the move, citing concerns about aspects of his reworked deal with the team, such as “issues with meeting commitments on agreed crew chief selection.”
As of press time, Honeyman, a veteran of NASCAR’s lower series, has yet to make any starts in the No. 15, or NASCAR/ARCA as a whole, in 2026.
In the meantime, prospective drivers Jake Finch and Mia Lovell have piloted the No. 15 car in the first two races of the season.
