FULL THROTTLE ENGAGEMENT FOR D'ORLANDO BROTHERS

2026 Season Begins Now!

2025 Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

White Plains, NY (June 27, 2025) – May has come and gone, and motorsports’ biggest month is now in the books. The INDYCAR Indianapolis 500 was a roaring success with a complete sellout at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway—over 350,000 fans in attendance, and another 7.05 million tuning in via the FOX network. Incredible.

Now, it’s time to get serious. The rest of the INDYCAR season is flying by. Since the 500, three more race weekends have already come and gone. Over the next 10 weeks, eight of them will be race weekends. And when the checkered flag waves in Nashville on August 31, the action won’t be slowing down—because that’s when “silly season” really begins.

Teams and drivers will plunge into testing, evaluations, contract negotiations, and seat signings to prepare for the 2026 season across all levels of the single-seater ladder. For the USF Pro Championships, the top-tier talent with solidified budgets will waste no time closing deals and returning to the track with elite teams. In INDYCAR, with only a few seats likely to open up, securing them will come down to a perfect mix of talent and financial backing.

For Michael and Nick d’Orlando, that means full-throttle engagement—right now. Once this season wraps, testing begins. But testing opportunities in Indy NXT and INDYCAR are extremely limited, so preparation for 2026 must start early to ensure a seat at the table. Testing is the unofficial prerequisite for success when the new season launches, and funding will be the key that opens the door.

The d’Orlando duo is investing every spare moment building toward next season—fortifying both physical and mental strength, expanding media presence, and forging strategic partnerships to meet budget goals. Sitting on the sidelines, watching their peers race, is not an option they’re willing to accept.

Michael is on the ground every weekend in the USF Pro Championships paddock, mentoring young talent and sharing hard-earned expertise. Nick continues to fuel his passion for motorsports through coaching and driving roles with Dallara, Graham Rahal Performance, Ford Performance Racing School, karting teams, and private clients—bringing elite-level experience and mentorship to the next generation. On top of that, both are completing coursework at Charlotte University with plans to graduate with Marketing degrees this December. Their involvement as Strategic Partners with Priority Commerce is also gaining momentum.

“The boys,” as they’re affectionately known, remain laser-focused and fired up. If you’ve ever wondered what the excitement is all about, we encourage you to tune into a race.
