Venturini Motorsports (VMS) has sold its ARCA Menards Series team to Nitro Motorsports, the team announced.

As part of the agreement, Nitro Motorsports will assume full ownership of the team and continue VMS's longstanding partnership with Toyota GAZOO Racing beginning October 15. Current team owner Billy Venturini will remain on board as general manager of the team through the conclusion of the 2026 season, the team said.

Nitro Motorsports, founded by Nick Tucker, currently competes in multiple disciplines in addition to the ARCA Menards Series, including the Trans Am Series, Toyota GR Cup North America and national go-kart events.

"I want to thank my wife, my parents, my team, Jack Irving, Tyler Gibbs and Ron Drager. Each of them is what has made this journey so very special," said Venturini. "The last 20 years [as owner and general manager] have been very rewarding, but also incredibly demanding. I love what this sport has given to me, but in return, I gave it everything I had. So, the time has come to be able to prioritize other things ahead of racing. As a racer, nothing comes before the sport. I understood, I believed, and lived by it. But it's now time to prepare for my departure."

VMS is the longest-tenured and most successful team in ARCA history, earning 107 all-time series victories.

An official partner of Toyota GAZOO Racing, Venturini Motorsports has played a key role in the development of some of today's top NASCAR series talent, including Joey Logano, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Alex Bowman, Jesse Love, Corey Heim and Christian Eckes.

"Nitro Motorsports foundation has been built on driver development, a pillar of what Venturini Motorsports has been known for and curated," said Tucker. "My partner Joe [Tovo] and I understand the responsibility to carry on that legacy and the history that the Venturini family has poured their life's work into and build on that for many years to come with Toyota GAZOO Racing.

"With the acquisition of Venturini Motorsports, Nitro becomes the most vertically integrated driver development program in the world starting with our premier cadet Go Karting program (Nitro Kart) as the ground floor with progression to cars with Toyota GR Cup, Trans Am and now ARCA."
