Presley Sorah, a fan-favorite in the ARCA Menards Series garage, will be taking on one of the biggest challenges of his young career, travelling to Daytona International Speedway to compete in the season-opener on February 14.
The Cambridge City, Indiana-native will partner with Fast Track Racing for the 200-mile contest at ‘The World Center of Racing’, piloting the No. 9 Ford Fusion with sponsorship from GoGut Microbebiotic and HealthMarkets Insurance.
“Today’s announcement is truly a monumental moment in my young career,” said Sorah. “To have the opportunity to compete on NASCAR’s biggest weekend, and at its most historic racetrack, is something I won’t take for granted and always dreamed of being able to achieve. I am ecstatic for my amazing partners that are joining me for this event, and for all of my family, friends, and core support group that have continued to support this vision and dream I’ve had all my life.”
When Sorah takes the green flag in February’s event at Daytona, it will mark the fifth time that the 22-year-old driver has partnered with Andy Hillenburg’s team, which included a start in the team’s No. 9 Toyota at Kansas last Spring.
“Having Presley [Sorah] in our No. 9 car at Daytona this year will be a real honor for us,” said team owner Andy Hillenburg. “It is great to see the young guns grow within the sport. Presley drove his first couple ARCA races with Fast Track Racing, and now we get to go to the pinnacle of motorsports together, as well.”
GoGut Microbebiotic, based in Port Orange, Florida, will have its first-ever appearance as a primary sponsor on-board the No. 9 Ford Fusion with Presley Sorah once the green flag drops on race day.
“GoGut Microbebiotic is proud to team up with Presley Sorah, driver of the No. 9 car, for ARCA action during DAYTONA 500 weekend,” said Lindsey Tobias of GoGut. “Daytona demands endurance, focus, and consistency on the track and in the body. GoGut’s prebiotic fiber supports gut health and sustained energy, helping Sorah stay race-ready from green flag to checkered flag.”
Also supporting Sorah at Daytona International Speedway will be five agents from HealthMarkets Insurance agency — Rick Fallis, Michael Wehner, Laura Roush, Mark Jones, and Troy Holder.
“Myself and several other HealthMarket agents have come together to form a partnership with Presley Sorah for his upcoming race at Daytona,” said HealthMarkets agent Rick Fallis. “We couldn’t be more excited to be on board for the biggest race of the year. Presley embodies the same drive, commitment, and passion in racing that we have as agents. We look forward to the opportunity in Daytona and beyond.”
This will be the second consecutive season in which GoGut Microbebiotic and HealthMarkets have partnered with Presley in the ARCA Menards Series. Also joining the No. 9 team for Daytona will be Progressive Medical Research, GoGut Cafe, Truck Parking Club, and Clean N Simple Commercial Cleaning Services.
“It’s very exciting to welcome back partners from 2025, while simultaneously working to bring new partners into the sport, as well,” Sorah added. “I am very appreciative of their support and can’t wait to represent all of my partners while we work through this great opportunity together.”
The DAYTONA ARCA 200 will be televised on FOX at Noon ET on Saturday, February 14.
