ISABELLA ROBUSTO & MIA LOVELL Lead Nitro’s Championship Charge at Daytona Test

January 29, 2026

• ISABELLA ROBUSTO showed why she’s a championship contender, posting the fifth-fastest time during Nitro’s dominant Daytona test where they swept the top six positions. The 2025 Rookie of the Year returns to her familiar No. 55 Toyota with Mobil 1 backing and reunites with crew chief Glenn Parker, who previously guided drivers champion Andres Perez. With 17 top-fives in 37 ARCA starts and a fourth-place points finish already under her belt, Robusto’s experience gives Nitro a proven performer ready to challenge for wins from day one.
• MIA LOVELL joins Nitro’s West Coast expansion as a full-time ARCA West driver in the No. 15, part of team owner Nick Tucker’s strategic move to dominate multiple series simultaneously. With Tucker’s family racing legacy in Winston West and former Venturini owner Billy Venturini now serving as General Manager for the West program, Lovell steps into a championship-caliber operation that expects nothing less than victory. The West program runs parallel to Nitro’s national series assault, where they’re targeting a 1-2-3 sweep in the drivers’ championship.
• JADE AVEDISIAN rounds out Nitro’s female talent roster as part of their part-time program, bringing additional depth to a team that’s transformed from single-car operation to five full-time entries plus a sixth part-time car. Tucker’s acquisition of Venturini Motorsports means these drivers inherit championship-winning infrastructure, including crew chiefs like Shannon Rursch who architected Jesse Love’s dominant 2023 title run. With Avedisian carrying Mobil 1 and Yahoo sponsorship, she’s positioned within a program where Tucker openly states his disappointment threshold: anything less than podium sweeps in the championship standings.
