The team quickly made an impact on the late model racing circuit throughout Virginia and the Carolinas through their on-track success. Nelson Motorsports is now widely recognized as one of the top race teams in all of late model racing. What began as a one-car experiment with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Timothy Peters, quickly transformed into a multi-car operation. With multiple pres

tigious wins, points championships, and Virginia Triple Crown titles, the success speaks for itself. Throughout the years the team has fielded many fantastic drivers. Timothy Peters helped build the foundation by winning numerous prestigious races and titles. Bobby McCarty joined the team in 2016 and has carried the team to new heights by winning 3 CARS Tour Championships and currently holds the Virginia Triple Crown trophy. The team has also worked with drivers like Sammy Smith and Ty Gibbs who are both now competing nationally in NASCAR. In 2022, Kaden Honeycutt joins the team who was the 2021 CARS Tour Rookie of the Year. At only 18 years old Kayden is considered one of the top up and coming drivers in racing. Nelson Motorsports is backed by AutosbyNelson, a group of seven auto dealerships in Southern Virginia and North Carolina owned by Nelson.

The newest hot rod to the fleet is the PenAir Credit Union #22 that Connor Hall will pilot at South Boston Speedway next weekend in the Thunder Road Harley Davidson 200!

We’re ecstatic to have PenAir on board for 4 races this year and cannot wait to get things started in Southern Virginia, a new market for them. They’re not just a sponsor—they’re a valuesdriven partner. PenAir Credit Union puts people first, and that mindset shows up in everything they do 💜

Racing is bigger than the results on track.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nolan and Katelyn this weekend. To have them a part of the #12 and #22 teams meant the world, and we’re reminded every day how important the little moments in life are.
