CONCORD, NC (Feb. 11, 2026) — Terry Easum has committed himself to the grind and the learning curve of racing with the American Sprint Car Series for the third time in his career in 2026.
The 33-year-old native of Broken Arrow, OK, will hit the road with fiancée and crew chief Kacee Frazier and the pit area’s favorite four-legged friend Stagger this season, following the national 360 Sprint Car schedule in pursuit of more laps and improving his skills in the seat.
Easum’s second season behind the wheel of the Premier Self-Storage, Don Ott Racing Engines-powered Maxim Chassis No. 88 on the national circuit last year added one podium, three top-fives and five top-10 finishes to his stat book. Though those were new personal bests with the Series, he’s still searching for more consistent results at the end of the night.
“[I’m looking] to just getting in the top 10 and top five more,” Easum said. “I think we’re capable of it. I don’t know what happens from time-to-time, we just don’t get there by the end of the night. We need to improve on that, for sure, and I need to improve myself as a driver.
“It’s definitely been a lot. But we’ll keep going at it until we get it figured out.”

Easum ventured out to Florida to race Volusia Speedway Park for the first time two weeks ago, snagging a spot in the main event on Monday night. Though his result in the end wasn’t as high as he was aiming for, he knows that just qualifying for a Feature against the stacked field that comes to race Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals every year is an accomplishment for he and his small, self-funded operation.
“It was a whole new ballgame down there; definitely one of the fastest places we go to,” Easum said. “We thought early in the night we were a little better. We timed in well Thursday night, and then I just screwed up on the start of the Heat Race. It seemed like later in the night it was pretty tough for us to do a lot.
“It definitely was a fun place. I look forward to going back to it. There’re not many half miles that are racey and fun.”
Easum resumes competition in the next American Sprint Car Series events — Feb. 21–22, Feb. 28–March 1 — at Central Arizona Raceway in the inaugural Sonoran Clash. Tickets for both weekends of the event will be sold at the track on race day.
