Thanks to the great record keeping of our friend Dave Argabright, we learned that 2026 marks Nolen Racing's 30th anniversary at the Little 500! Our entry in 1996 was driven by the great Jim Keeker. Join us Saturday night at Anderson Speedway as we give it another go with Hall of Famer Shane Hollingsworth behind the wheel!

We won this very, very hard race in both 2018 and 2019 with Kody Swanson. In 2018 we took up two-thirds of the podium, as Hollingsworth was third!

Swanson won again in 2019. Hollingsworth was fourth that year, but incredibly our team led 499 of the 500 laps! The only lap we didn't lead was lap 354, when both cars were in the pits simultaneously.

We finished second in 2008 with Tony Elliott, in 2014 with Jerry C***s Jr., and 2020 with Hollingsworth.

We've been third six times: Chet Fillip (2002), Billy Puterbaugh (2007), 2016 (C***s), 2021 (Tanner Swanson) and Hollingsworth finished third in 2011 and 2018.

Let's see what happens Saturday night! Fingers crossed!
