“This is incredible.

It has been a while, but I am ecstatic to be back on the team and more excited than ever to go racing in my first season of TC America. I know Copeland Motorsports is right team, I am the right driver and the Hyundai Veloster N TCR is the right car to go for gold in TC America.”

“Nikko is a great driver, and this is a huge opportunity for him,” added team principal Dean Copeland. “He will be a valuable asset to the team and a great teammate. I am confident he will be up to speed in the TCR pretty quickly and will contend for race wins throughout the year. His racecraft and skills as a driver were proven in his past championship-winning seasons, and we look forward to racing with him on our team and not against him.”
