City Garage Motorsports Signs Logan Misuraca for ARCA Daytona Opener
There is something undeniably special about Daytona International Speedway. For drivers, it’s the cathedral of speed. For fans, it’s hallowed ground. But for Logan Misuraca, the high banks of Daytona represent something even more profound: they represent home. City Garage Motorsports (CGM) has officially announced that Misuraca will be behind the wheel of one of their two entries for the highly anticipated Daytona ARCA 200.
When the engines fire on February 14 to kick off the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, Misuraca will be piloting the No. 85 Orlando Health Ford Fusion, ready to make her mark on the very asphalt where she cut her teeth as a driver.
This isn’t just another race on the calendar for the Florida native; it is a full-circle moment. Years ago, Misuraca spent countless hours logging laps at this superspeedway with the NASCAR Racing Experience. Every turn, every draft, and every burst of speed became part of her racing DNA. Now, she returns to showcase that experience on one of the biggest stages in motorsports.
Misuraca Brings Superspeedway Expertise To City Garage Motorsports
Superspeedway racing is a discipline unlike any other. It requires a unique blend of aggression and patience, a “chess match at 200 mph” mentality that not every driver possesses. However, Misuraca has proven time and again that she is comfortable in the draft. Her ability to navigate the chaotic pack racing of Daytona is a key asset for City Garage Motorsports as they look to start the season with a strong finish.
“Daytona has always felt natural to me, it’s where everything truly began,” Misuraca said, reflecting on the opportunity. “With my experience in the draft and comfort at high speeds, this is the perfect stage to showcase what I can do as we open the ARCA National Series season. There’s nothing like returning home to my favorite race weekend of the year.”
The partnership between Misuraca and CGM feels like a natural fit. The team is looking for performance and reliability, and Misuraca is looking for a car capable of running up front. By putting her in the No. 85 Orlando Health Ford Fusion, CGM is making a statement that they intend to be competitive from the drop of the green flag.
A Commitment To Women In Motorsports
Beyond the competition, there is a powerful narrative driving this effort. Misuraca isn’t just racing for a trophy. She is racing to inspire. She expressed profound gratitude to the City Garage Motorsports leadership, Stuart, Mike, and Ryan, for believing in her talent and giving her the equipment necessary to compete at this level.
“I’m incredibly thankful to City Garage Motorsports… for believing in me and giving me the chance to perform at this level,” Misuraca stated. “I’m excited not only to go compete, but to contribute to CGM’s Female First and Girl Power initiative proving that women belong at the front of the field.”
This initiative is more than just a slogan for CGM. Alongside Misuraca’s run in the national series opener, the team is fielding a strong lineup for the ARCA Menards Series East. Becca Monnopoli will step into the No. 85, and Quinn Davis will pilot the No. 5.
It is a comprehensive approach to driver development that highlights the growing influence and success of female drivers in stock car racing. Misuraca, as the veteran presence in this group, is eager to see her teammates succeed.“I’m beyond excited to watch Becca and Quinn take on the East Series and continue pushing the needle forward for women in motorsports,” Misuraca added.
The Road To The 2026 Season Opener
As February approaches, the focus for Misuraca and the CGM team will shift to preparation. The Daytona ARCA 200 is notorious for its unpredictability. One wrong move, one bad push, or one mechanical failure can end a day early. But with risk comes the potential for immense reward.
For Logan Misuraca, the path to Victory Lane starts with that feeling of familiarity. When she rolls onto the track for practice, she won’t be intimidated by the 31-degree banking. She will be welcoming an old friend. The confidence that comes from knowing the track, combined with the support of a team dedicated to her success, creates a potent combination.
Final Thoughts
The roar of the engines in February will signal the start of a new season, but for Misuraca, it signals something personal: a homecoming. And if history is any indication, she will be ready to fight for every inch of pavement when the green flag waves over Daytona.
