Lindsay Automotive Partners with Pegram Racing for the 2026 IMSA TCR Championship Campaign

Lindsay Automotive is proud to sponsor Pegram Racing’s Honda Civic Type R TCR entry for the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season — bringing world-class motorsports competition to the Columbus automotive community.

This partnership connects a family-owned Ohio dealership with a family-run Ohio racing team, reinforcing a shared commitment to performance, precision, and passion for driving.

Honda Racing Heritage. Acura Performance DNA.

Honda has racing in its DNA — and Acura extends that heritage into the luxury performance segment. Championship-proven engineering, precision handling, and driver-focused performance aren’t marketing lines. They’re principles developed on track and refined for the road.

Supporting Pegram Racing reflects what we value across the Lindsay Automotive family: authentic performance, technical excellence, and a genuine connection to drivers throughout Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, and the greater Central Ohio community.

About the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR Season

The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class features production-based race cars competing on some of the most iconic circuits in North America, including:

Daytona International Speedway
Sebring International Raceway
Road America
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

These purpose-built race cars are derived from street-legal platforms, showcasing real-world performance capabilities engineered into every vehicle. The 2026 season began January 16, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway.

When you see a Honda Civic Type R TCR battling door-to-door on track, you’re seeing the same engineering mindset that shapes Acura performance vehicles — responsive power, balanced chassis dynamics, and precision built into every component.

Meet Pegram Racing

Pegram Racing is an Ohio-based father-daughter team competing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class.

In-showroom race car displays and activations
Behind-the-scenes team content
Community events throughout the season
Exclusive updates across digital and social platforms

It’s about connection — creating meaningful experiences that extend beyond the showroom and celebrate the passion that drives automotive culture in Central Ohio.
