ThorSport Racing, a championship-winning team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, has re-signed driver Jake Garcia to compete full-time once again in 2026.

Garcia will take over the reins of the No. 98 Ford F-150 for the upcoming season, replacing Ty Majeski, who has been shuffled to the team’s No. 88 Ford F-150 in place of Matt Crafton, who is stepping back from full-time Truck Series competition.

“Curb Records is a proud partner with ThorSport Racing for our 17th year in the No. 98 Ford F-150, and we’re excited to welcome Jake Garcia behind the wheel for the 2026 NASCAR Truck season,” said Mike Curb, Founder of Curb Records.

The Monroe, Georgia-native has spent each of the last two seasons competing with ThorSport Racing, driving the No. 13 Ford F-150. In that time, the 20-year-old driver has recorded a pair of top-fives and 12 top-10s. In 2025, Garcia earned his first berth into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs.

Quanta Services will return as Garcia’s primary partner for the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign, marking the third year of its partnership with ThorSport Racing, and now continuing its support of the driver in the No. 98 program.

“I want to thank Duke, Rhonda, and Allison Thorson for their trust and support as I continue with ThorSport Racing. A special thank you to Mike Curb for believing in me to carry on the legacy of the No. 98, as well as Quanta Services for standing behind this program,” said Jake Garcia.

Curb Records enters its 17th year of partnership with ThorSport Racing, with Mike Curb serving as the co-owner of the No. 98 Ford F-150. Last season, Ty Majeski brought the No. 98 to the Championship 4 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, but came up one spot short of winning back-to-back titles.

Now, Garcia, driving the number that ThorSport Racing has made famous with a litany of drivers, is looking to earn his first win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, as he hopes to become a perennial championship contender in the series.
