Lindsay Automotive is proud to sponsor Pegram Racing’s Honda Civic Type R TCR entry for the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season — bringing world-class motorsports competition to the Columbus automotive community.

This partnership connects a family-owned Ohio dealership with a family-run Ohio racing team, reinforcing a shared commitment to performance, precision, and passion for driving.

Honda Racing Heritage. Performance DNA.

Honda has racing in its DNA — a legacy built through decades of competition, innovation, and engineering excellence. Championship-proven technology, precision handling, and driver-focused performance aren’t marketing lines. They’re principles developed on the track and refined for the road.

Supporting Pegram Racing reflects what we value across the Lindsay Automotive family: authentic performance, technical excellence, and a genuine connection to drivers throughout Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, and the greater Central Ohio community.

About the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR Season

The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class features production-based race cars competing on some of the most iconic circuits in North America, including:

  • Daytona International Speedway
  • Sebring International Raceway
  • Road America
  • WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

These purpose-built race cars are derived from street-legal platforms, showcasing real-world performance capabilities engineered into every vehicle. The 2026 season began January 16, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway.

When you see a Honda Civic Type R TCR battling door-to-door on track, you’re seeing the same engineering mindset that shapes Honda performance vehicles — responsive power, balanced chassis dynamics, and precision built into every component.

Pegram Racing is an Ohio-based father-daughter team competing in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR class.

  • Larry Pegram – A respected motorcycle racing veteran with more than two decades in AMA Superbike competition, multiple race victories, and experience in the Superbike World Championship.
  • Riley Pegram – Began karting at age 16 and quickly advanced through sports car racing, earning a fourth-place finish in the 2023 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Championship before progressing to IMSA competition.

After competing in a partial 2024 IMSA season and a full 2025 campaign in TCR competition, the team transitions to Honda machinery for 2026 — aligning Ohio roots with Honda’s storied performance legacy.

Bringing the Racing Experience to Columbus

This sponsorship goes beyond logos on a race car. Lindsay Automotive plans to bring the racing experience directly to customers through:

  • In-showroom race car displays and activations
  • Behind-the-scenes team content
  • Community events throughout the season
  • Exclusive updates across digital and social platforms

It’s about connection — creating meaningful experiences that extend beyond the showroom and celebrate the passion that drives automotive culture in Central Ohio.
