Jonathan Joiner and the Hunt the Front team shared some details about what their plans are for the beginning of 2026 as well as announcing that they are parting ways with Kubota as a sponsor.

In a recent video upload to the Hunt the Front YouTube channel, Joiner first shared that the team’s first race in 2026 will be at Needmore Speedway for the South Georgia Showdown. Joiner said, “Our first race will be Needmore Speedway, the South Georgia Showdown. That’s our Speedweek [race] with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series. Needmore Speedway January 30th and 31st. Friday and Saturday. And then the very next Monday and Tuesday, February 2nd and 3rd, we’ll be over at Swainsboro Raceway and that will kick off year four of the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series.”

Later in the video, Joiner announced that they are parting ways with Kubota as their primary sponsor, “We are saying goodbye to Kubota Tractor and Kubota Genuine Parts. They’ve been with us for the last two years and we’re super thankful for what they’ve done for our race team and our YouTube channel as well as the investment that they made over the last two years in dirt track racing as a whole.”

“Obviously, Kubota has been our main sponsor here, but also the High Limit Series, the Gateway Dirt Nationals this year, the FloRacing Series, just a lot of areas where Kubota came in and for the last two years was a big supporter of dirt track racing,” he continued. “We’re super thankful for that. We’re thankful for the folks at Kubota that worked hard to make that happen and very appreciative of the potential that they saw in us and then dirt track racing as a whole.”

“There’s been some changes there at Kubota and we completely understand that. Nothing last forever. I just wanted to give y’all a heads up on that as well as to say thank you to Kubota Tractor and Kubota Genuine Parts for what they’ve done for us and dirt track racing over the last couple of years,” Joiner added. “Sad to see Kubota go, but we’re excited about the future and the opportunity that that brings.”
