CASE HOCKMAN UNVEILS DYNAMIC 2026 SEASON AS HE TAKES NEXT STEP INTO FULL-SIZE RACE CARS
APOLLO BEACH, FL., — Rising motorsports talent Case Hockman is set to take a major step forward in his racing career in 2026, announcing an ambitious and diverse schedule that marks his transition into full-size race cars for the first time.
The 2026 season represents a pivotal moment in Hockman’s development as he moves into Pro Late Model competition, one of the most competitive proving grounds in short-track racing. Case will contest select Pro Late Model events at Auburndale Speedway and Citrus County Speedway, gaining valuable experience on Florida’s demanding short tracks while competing against seasoned veterans and emerging stars.
In addition to his pavement program, Hockman will continue to sharpen his versatility on dirt, competing in Restricted Micro Sprint events at Millbridge Speedway whenever his Pro Late Model schedule allows. He will also return to two of the most prestigious grassroots dirt events in the country — the Tulsa Shootout and the Donnie Ray Crawford Memorial at Port City Raceway — continuing to challenge himself against elite competition on a national stage.
SHORT TRACK RACING: THE FOUNDATION OF RACECRAFT
The move into Pro Late Models is a natural progression for Hockman, whose development has been built around short-track racing — widely regarded as the most effective training ground for young drivers. Tight racing, constant traffic, evolving track conditions, and limited margins for error force drivers to learn race awareness, patience, and car control at a rapid pace.
By competing across both pavement and dirt disciplines, Case continues to build the racecraft that separates complete drivers from simply fast ones. This well-rounded approach allows him to adapt quickly, provide meaningful feedback, and grow steadily as he prepares for future opportunities at higher levels of the sport.
