Loftsgard Wins Mustang Challenge Title as Anderson Sweeps COTA

Overview

• Devin Anderson won both COTA races, completing a weekend sweep that began with his Race 1 pole and carried into the 45-minute season finale.
• Key incidents reshaped the finale after Dan McKeever’s late Turn 1 crash in Saturday’s Race 1 forced him out of the weekend and removed a contender from the title fight.
• Loftsgard finished second to Anderson in Race 2 and secured the 2026 Dark Horse drivers’ championship, capping a rookie campaign that included seven wins in 12 races.
• Tom Tait was provisionally declared the Dark Horse Legends winner after last-lap contact with Chris Clarke sent Clarke into the barriers, but race control has placed the incident under review.
• Round 3 Racing clinched the team title in its first year, a result that highlights how reliability and season-long point scoring mattered more than a late surge by Anderson and could shift attention and resources toward the series’ new contenders.
