For Colton Clark, 2025 marked a milestone season — his rookie campaign in the Pro Challenge Series behind the wheel of the #19 Ford Mustang. With a year full of learning experiences, growing confidence, and memorable moments, Clark is already looking ahead to building on his foundation in 2026.

A Season of Growth

Clark describes his first year in the series as a steady progression.

“I thought my first year in Pro Challenge went pretty good. We learned a lot about the car and handling. As the season went on, I got more confident and started to get up to speed the more laps we ran,” he explained. “I’d give myself a B grade overall. I still need to learn a bit more about car control, but I’m happy with the strides we made.”

Off-Season Focus

This winter, Clark has his sights set on preparing for a busy 2026 campaign. His focus remains on continuing in the Pro Challenge Series, while also working on a dirt racing program to gain more seat time and sharpen his skills.“Our first priority is Pro Challenge, but we plan on running Ransomville Speedway on Friday nights in the Novice division, and Merrittville Speedway on our off Pro Challenge nights,” he shared. “We’ve also got one more project in the works that we’ll announce later.”

Learning from Mentors

Reflecting on his first laps in the car, Clark credits the support of fellow racers and mentors for helping him quickly adapt.

“On the very first night I drove the car, I’ve got to thank Taylor Webber — she helped me a lot, from strapping in to shifting. I also can’t thank Tim, Mike, and Emma Norris enough. They’ve been great mentors and always offer great advice,” said Clark.

He also extended appreciation to cousin Travis Majurey, who’s been a big help throughout the season, along with the Pro Challenge drivers who welcomed him into the series. Special thanks also went out to Ritch Lushes and Ben Rhodes of ThorSport Racing for their guidance.

Family and Sponsors

Of course, Clark acknowledges the backbone of his racing efforts — his family and marketing partners.

“A huge thank you to my dad, mom, and sister. They support me 100 percent and get me to the track each week,” Clark said.

He also expressed gratitude to his dedicated supporters and partners:

Jolene, Doug, and Kelly from Cooper Rental
Seeley and Arnill Construction
Brian Edwards Transfer
Stinson Piling
Paul and Jordan Howse
Dave Badgerous Trucking
Creative Edge Signs & Graphics
Glen McGowan Construction Services

Looking Ahead

With his rookie season behind him, Clark is motivated to carry the lessons learned into 2026.

“It was a dream come true to run Pro Challenge this year,” he said. “Next season is going to be busy, and I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen.”
