Sheldon Haudenschild Joins KCP Racing for 2026 World of Outlaws Campaign

CONCORD, N.C.—Sheldon Haudenschild has a new home for the 2026 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series campaign.

After eight years driving for Stenhouse Jr./Marshall Racing, the 32-year-old will climb aboard the KCP Racing No. 18 owned by Matt Barbara and Bret Nehring this year for his 10th season on tour.

Haudenschild currently owns 46 career victories with The Greatest Show on Dirt, fresh off adding four to his total in 2025 including the coveted National Open. The Wooster, OH native’s best finish in the points is fourth in 2020, and he’s been no worse than seventh during his tenure. NOS Energy Drink will continue to support Haudenschild as he begins a new chapter.

KCP Racing began 2025 with Giovanni Scelzi in the seat before the two parted ways in mid-July. Emerson Axsom and Cory Eliason completed the campaign for KCP as they finished seventh in team standings.

The Iowa-based organization is home to a dozen World of Outlaws wins. They’re also one of only three organizations to supply multiple Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year winners. Ian Madsen got the first in 2018 before Scelzi claimed the honor in 2023.

Haudenschild’s 2026 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car campaign with KCP Racing will begin in Florida at Volusia Speedway Park’s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals (Feb. 4-7). For tickets, CLICK HERE.
