A brand built on competition backs a 17-year-old national champion making the jump to NASCAR Late Model Stock Cars
RALEIGH, N.C. – April 14, 2025 – ParTee Shack, the fast-growing family entertainment company known for its challenge-driven mini golf and one-of-a-kind attractions, is proud to announce a 2026 racing season sponsorship of Josh Lowe, a 17-year-old NASCAR Late Model Stock Car driver competing at Wake County Speedway in Raleigh, North Carolina. The season opened Friday, April 3rd.
Lowe will carry a full ParTee Shack livery on his No. 23 Late Model Stock Car throughout the 2026 season, a striking black-and-green wrap that puts the ParTee Shack name on one of the most competitive short tracks in the Southeast.
The partnership extends well beyond the car. As part of the deal, Lowe will make appearances at select ParTee Shack events throughout the season, giving guests the opportunity to meet the driver and see the car up close. He will also be featured in go-kart safety briefing videos at ParTee Shack’s Greensboro location — and eventually at ParTee Shack Charleston when it opens later this year — adding a layer of authenticity to one of the brand’s most popular attractions. Lowe will be promoted across ParTee Shack’s social media channels, which reach a combined audience of more than 200,000 followers. Fans can use his exclusive discount code JOSHLOWE at checkout for buy-one-get-one-free mini golf at any ParTee Shack location.
Lowe is a second-generation racer from Archdale, North Carolina, who grew up in the stands at Concord Speedway and Wake County Speedway watching his father race Legend Cars. He began racing Bandoleros, won a Wake County Speedway track championship in his second season, and moved into Legend Cars — where things took off quickly.
In 2025, Lowe put together one of the most dominant Legend Car seasons in recent memory. He captured the INEX Semi-Pro Asphalt National Championship — finishing second out of more than 430 drivers at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — along with the Semi-Pro North Carolina State Championship and the Wake County Speedway Track Championship. Across 38 starts, he recorded 22 wins at seven different tracks and landed on the podium 33 times.
For 2026, Lowe has made the leap to NASCAR Late Model Stock Cars, one of the most competitive grassroots divisions in the country. His goals are straightforward: compete for podium finishes, chase his first Late Model win, and continue building toward a career in professional motorsports.
“Josh reached out to us the way a professional would,” said Danté Valor, Chief Marketing Officer of ParTee Shack. “He was clear, he was prepared, and he had the results to back it up. Here’s a kid who just won a national championship out of 430 drivers and didn’t have a major sponsor lined up. Sponsoring a young, hungry driver who’s climbing through the ranks is a natural extension of what this brand is about. We’re proud to put our name on that car and even prouder to back someone who’s earned it.”
The 2026 Late Model Stock Car season at Wake County Speedway kicked off Friday, April 3rd. Fans in Raleigh can see the ParTee Shack car in action and follow Josh’s season on Instagram at @joshloweracing.
