Tampa, FL, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RestorationMaster, a 24/7 disaster restoration and cleaning company serving homes and businesses across the Tampa Bay area, backed City Garage Motorsports (CGM) for the ARCA Menards Series’ stop at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, with its logo featured on the No. 5 Ford driven by team co-owner Michael Clayton.

Clayton climbed behind the wheel for the LiUNA! 150 presented by Ideal Door on Friday, July 24, a combination event for the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East at the 0.686-mile oval in Brownsburg, Indiana. It was the first time in 2026 that CGM fielded a second car in ARCA competition, running the No. 5 alongside its regular No. 85 entry.
The start was personal for Clayton. He is one of the co-owners of City Garage Motorsports and serves as the team’s director of operations, and he helped build the Lakeland, Florida-based operation before taking this rare turn as a driver. The race marked his ARCA Menards Series East debut and his third career ARCA national start. Two Florida-based operations working together, one on the racetrack and one at home in Tampa Bay, gave the partnership a local feel even with the car running in Indiana.
“Race fans are some of the most loyal people you’ll meet, and it means a lot to have our name riding on the No. 5 with a team like City Garage Motorsports,” said Patrick Panayotov, Business Partner at RestorationMaster. “On the track or at your front door after a fire or a flood, you want a crew that shows up ready to work. That’s what we do every day for the Tampa Bay community.”
The day ended sooner than the team wanted. Clayton’s No. 5 developed a vibration and came behind the wall after 28 of the race’s 150 laps. IRP has a long history of testing cars and drivers since it first hosted ARCA in 1971, and the track has helped launch a number of drivers who went on to NASCAR’s national series.
RestorationMaster’s support of CGM continues on the No. 5 Ford at upcoming races, keeping the brand in front of race fans at short tracks around the country.
The exposure puts RestorationMaster in front of a motorsports audience while the company keeps its attention where it counts: helping property owners recover after fire, water, storm, flood, and mold damage.
