Championship‑Ready: ACI Motorsports 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup Lineup

‍Chattanooga, TN (February 13, 2026) — Championship-winning sports car team ACI Motorsports has announced an initial five-car program for the 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup North America season, continuing its pursuit of another title campaign.

Following a successful 2025 season highlighted by J.P. Martinez securing the Pro-Am Championship, Team Owner Curt Swearingin enters 2026 focused on strengthening ACI’s high-performance customer racing program. With expanded equipment, additional personnel, and continued investment in engineering support, the Chattanooga-based team is emphasizing refinement and performance rather than simply increasing scale.

Building on past success, including Richard Edge’s 2024 Andial Championship, ACI Motorsports aims to continue developing competitive drivers while delivering consistent front-running results across multiple classes.

“We’re proud of what we’ve built over the past few seasons,” said Swearingin. “Our focus this year is on elevating the program with stronger support, and giving our drivers what they need to compete for wins and championships.”
