Montreal, QC \u2014 Alex Tagliani will return as a full-season championship contender in the NASCAR Canada Series, competing on ovals in the No. 3 car for Ed Hakonson Racing (EHR).<\/p>\n
Tagliani already signed with Theetge Motorsports to compete on road\/street courses, marking a unique and ambitious dual-program effort in 2026. He is expected to be the only driver in the series competing full-time while contributing to the Owners\u2019 Championship with two different teams over the course of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a big opportunity and I\u2019m super excited to work with EHR on the oval program,\u201d said Tagliani. \u201cA massive thank you to Olymel, St-Hubert, and Ureco Flooring for their support in making this possible. I\u2019m also very grateful to EHR for putting together a strong program that allows me to compete for a full championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tagliani brings extensive oval experience to the team and is no stranger to success. He notably dominated at Sunset Speedway with back-to-back victories in 2015-16, including a performance where he lapped the entire field.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to working with Jason and the No. 3 team to get back to business on the ovals,\u201d added Tagliani.<\/p>\n
From the team\u2019s perspective, EHR is equally enthusiastic about the partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to work with Tag and see how we can attack the Owners\u2019 Championship,\u201d said the team. \u201cHaving two capable drivers in the program is a big advantage for EHR.\u201d<\/p>\n
With proven performance, strong backing, and a dual-team championship strategy, the Tagliani\u2013EHR combination is set to be a major force in the 2026 NASCAR Canada Series oval championship battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Montreal, QC \u2014 Alex Tagliani will return as a full-season championship contender in the NASCAR Canada Series, competing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[234504,49,48,234505,56527,634,234506,82],"class_list":["post-625259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-alex-tagliani","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ed-hakonson-racing","tag-ehr","tag-nascar","tag-nascar-canada-series","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
