We’ve had a lot of questions about what adding the Legend Car means for TJ and Haggett Motorsports, so we wanted to explain where we’re headed.
First and most importantly — our 2026 season at Thunder Road is NOT over.
We started this season with goals in our Street Stock, and we fully intend to finish what we started. TJ and the entire team will continue competing at Thunder Road through the remainder of the season.
The Legend Car simply marks the beginning of the next chapter at the same time we’re finishing this one.
Currently, Haggett Motorsports owns and maintains TJ’s Street Stock. TJ also competes in the Pro 4 Modified, which is owned and maintained by Hell or High Water Racing, and we’re incredibly grateful for that opportunity.
After this season, our plan is to sell the Street Stock. At that point, the Legend will be the only race car owned and maintained by Haggett Motorsports for the the time being.
Why Legends?
Because we believe it’s the right next step for TJ’s development.
At 14 years old, our biggest priority isn’t collecting trophies — it’s building a race car driver.
We want TJ getting seat time. We want him learning throttle control, racecraft and car control. We want him experiencing different tracks, different competitors and different situations. We want him racing against drivers who are more experienced than he is, because that’s how he’s going to get better.
This past weekend reinforced that decision. He shared the track with experienced Semi-Pro, Masters and Pro-level Legend drivers and showed us that he’s ready to start learning at this level.
But there’s another important part of this:
Owning only a Legend does NOT mean TJ will only race Legends.
We aren’t closing the door on Thunder Road, or any other opportunity that may come TJ’s way.
If someone offers TJ an opportunity to race at Thunder Road, or anywhere else, and we believe it’s a good opportunity for his development, we’re going to consider it.
Someday Haggett Motorsports may own another type of race car again. We don’t know what the future holds or exactly where this journey will take us.
What we do know is where we’re headed next.
We’re going to finish this season at Thunder Road with everything we’ve got while beginning the process of learning this Legend Car and preparing for what comes next.
One chapter isn’t ending before the next begins. For a little while, we’re fortunate enough to be writing both.
One percent better every day.
Compete. Improve. Repeat.
