Adapting and Improving: Lattomus on His 2026 Racing Plans

Preston Lattomus closed out his rookie 410 sprint car campaign last season by making his first High Limit Racing and World of Outlaws features at Bridgeport and New Egypt in New Jersey, then returned to familiar turf in Pennsylvania to record a top-ten finish in Lincoln Speedway’s Final 50.

In 2026, he returns for his sophomore season, aiming to continue that momentum, once again at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches, EZGO / Golf Cart Services, Betts Garage, Magoo’s Motorsickles No.91.

THE FOCUS

Lattomus is approaching the 2026 season with continued improvement in mind. To do that, he plans to use a formula that has worked for him at every level he has competed at on his way up to 410 sprint cars.

The Lewes, DE driver has always challenged himself by running a variety of tracks and racing against the best competition he can find.

The team will make the PA Posse Sprint Series a primary focus, but also plans to do some traveling.

“The PA Posse series will keep us moving around to a lot of different tracks, but we are also looking at following the Outlaws and High Limit on their New York swings, hitting part of Ohio Speedweek, and maybe adding a couple of trips to Lernerville Speedway in Western, PA,” Lattomus explained.

“I think racing at a variety of tracks helps me shorten the learning curve when I get in a new race car. It helps me learn more about the car, what it needs, and how to drive it compared to running the same track every week.”

Some may agree, some may disagree with his thinking, but there’s no arguing that it has worked for him at every level of racing so far in his young career.

The tentative schedule for the 19-year-old Lattomus and team will take them to at least four or five different regions and numerous tracks in pursuit of seat time and experience.

THE GOALS

The schedule and the venues will provide the opportunities, but what are the things Lattomus and his team will aim for to continue to improve?

“One of the big things we talked about in our meetings over the winter was communications.” Lattomus shared.

“These cars were new to me last year. The difference from 358 sprint cars was enough that sometimes I wasn’t sure how the car should feel, so it was hard for me to explain to Kyle (Reinhardt) and the guys what I needed. I got a lot better as the season went on, and I need to continue that this year. We agreed we can all do better and that will be a key to getting to the next level.”

Lattomus plans to focus on improving his qualifying efforts as a foundational piece of reaching the team’s goals.

“We have a lot of big races on the schedule, and your qualifying laps are the key to those nights. We want to put ourselves in a position to compete from the beginning of the night.” Lattomus said.

“The competition is too tough to dig out of an early hole from a poor qualifying effort.”

Another goal the team has is more consistency. It sounds cliché, and of course, it’s something every team strives for, but it’s true that consistency is key. Better qualifying efforts and improved communications are a great first step toward achieving consistency, but Lattomus knows part of the formula also involves improved decision-making behind the wheel. He believes that goes hand-in-hand with gaining experience, something he clearly showed to be true late in 2025 after he had a lot more laps under his belt.

Lattomus has his sights set on continuing to make more ‘big shows’ as he did late in 2025. He also believes he and his team are capable of finding victory lane at least once in 2026.

“I know we have the equipment to win, and I know I’m capable. If we keep doing the work, it will come. I believe in my team and in myself.” Lattomus commented.
