Career Highlights
Jake Bollman is one of the most distinctive stories on the 2026 CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car grid — an 18-year-old from Huntington Beach, California, who has competed across disciplines ranging from off-road karts to ARCA national-series stock cars, with CARS Tour events filling his East Coast schedule.
Bollman began racing in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series in 2016 and won a championship in 2018 before transitioning to stock cars. He moved to the CARS Pro Late Model Tour and earned his first PLM victory in the 2022 season finale at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway while racing for Rackley WAR — winning when competitors collided during a late-race restart.
In 2025, Bollman joined Bill McAnally Racing's ARCA Menards Series West program and scored his first ARCA win at the Colorado 150, adding back-to-back poles at Tucson and Colorado to finish eighth in West Series points. For 2026, he moved to Nitro Motorsports for a full-time ARCA Menards Series campaign, running the No. 20 Toyota.
On the CARS Tour side, Bollman has made select LMSC starts in the No. 71, including the 2026 season opener at Southern National Motorsports Park and the Nashville Fairgrounds event. His multi-series schedule reflects an ambitious development path that spans both coasts of American short-track and national-series racing.
