Coltman Farms Racing announced it has split with Tanner English after he chose not to relocate to Georgia.

In a post to Facebook, Coltman Farms Racing shared, “Beginning in 2026, all Coltman Farms Racing teams will be based out of the team’s race shop in Maysville, Georgia. Tanner Engish, who has been operating the team’s No. 96 entry out of his own shop located in Benton, Illinois, has chosen not to relocate. ”

“Coltman Farms Racing wishes Tanner the best in the future. We are grateful for the success we shared together,” the team concluded.

Coltman Farms Racing previously split ways with Zack Mitchell earlier this year and replaced him with Donald McIntosh with the intention of running a national series. Mitchell shared his departure on Facebook, “After thoughtful discussion, Coltman Farms Racing and I have mutually agreed to part ways.”

“I’m truly grateful for the opportunities, support, and teamwork we shared during our time together,” he continued. “We felt at this time we were both looking in different directions moving into the 2026 season. Being part of their program has been an important chapter in my career, and I wish them nothing but success moving forward. We feel proud of what we accomplished during our 2025 season wrapping up the year with a victorious 11 wins. Our most to date. We had a great year.”

Mitchell is still figuring out his 2026 plans writing, “As far as 2026 goes- we will be around. I’m exploring the best path forward for me and my family and will share updates as soon as l’m able.”

With Mitchell parting ways Coltman Farms Racing announced it was bringing in Donald McIntosh to compete on a national tour. The team stated in a press release shared to Facebook, ” Coltman Farms Racing owner Brett Coltman is excited to announce the addition of veteran Dirt Late Model driver Donald McIntosh to the team ahead of the 2026 season.”

The team added, “McIntosh, 32, will be a teammate to current Coltman Farms Racing driver Tanner English. Plans are currently being made for McIntosh and English to each compete at the national level in 2026.”

While he will be racing with the team heading into 2026, he will make his appearance with the team at the Gateway Dirt Nationals this upcoming weekend at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

McIntosh said of the opportunity, “I have raced Late Models for 12 years now and drove for multiple teams, but the opportunity to drive for Brett Coltman and Coltman Farms Racing is the biggest thing that’s happened in my career. Brett has done so much for the motorsports industry these last few years, so it’s an honor to be part of his program in 2026.”

“I feel very blessed for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to what we can accomplish together,” he added.

“I’ve known Donald for several years now and I’ve had the pleasure of watching him develop as a race car driver,” said Coltman Farms Racing owner Brett Coltman. “I’ve watched him perform at the highest levels of our sport and I know he has what it takes to win.”

“He’s going to be an incredible asset to Coltman Farms Racing. He is a role model on and off the race track and is the type of everyday hero we should all strive to be. I’m proud to kick off this new era with Donald beginning at the Gateway Dirt Nationals,” he concluded.
