DRIVER OF THE WEEK
Round 12 - August 28th, 2026
Nicholas Farrell
#18 UMG Atlantic Mortgages Beginner

This week’s Driver of the Week is none other than the young Nicholas Farrell!
The era of Farrell has arrived.

With back-to-back feature wins, Nicholas has officially arrived on the scene and given the rest of the field plenty to take notice of. What makes it even more impressive is that Nicholas started this season behind the wheel of a race car for the very first time, competing against some of the best in the UMG Atlantic Mortgages Beginner division. Now, he’s carrying checkered flags at the end of the night.

Nicholas has also quickly become a familiar face around the pits, often lending a hand to other teams, taking part in our side events and bringing the car out to interact with the fans.

It’s great to see a young driver making this kind of impact, both on and off the track. Having Nicholas in the field gives us plenty of reason to be excited about the future of racing at Scotia Speedworld.

A tip of the hat to Nicholas Farrell and the entire team. Congratulations on another feature win and on being our Driver of the Week!
