Bishop Motorsports welcomes Jordan DaCosta to the team

May 19, 2025

Bishop Motorsports is proud to officially welcome 18-year-old Florida drag racing sensation Jordan DaCosta to the team. Just one month after joining the program, Jordan traveled to Minnesota to meet the team and complete his NHRA licensing process—an experience that turned heads and proved he’s one to watch.

In a remarkable display of talent, Jordan successfully licensed in five NHRA classes—Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, Top Dragster, and Advanced ET—in just three days.

“This is something big and exciting for our sport,” said team owner Chris Bishop. “To see someone so young adapt and drive at such a high level with this kind of versatility—it’s rare. Jordan showed us right away that he’s the real deal.”

Jordan’s journey to this milestone has been fueled by determination and vision.

“I’ve been working toward finding an NHRA team that believes in me and shares the same goals,” said Jordan DaCosta. “I can’t believe I’ve gotten to this point. Before this, my personal best was a 9.33 in the quarter mile. Now, I’m leaving Minnesota with a new personal best of 7.75 seconds and a top speed of 180 MPH+. It’s unreal.”

From day one, Jordan made it clear he wasn’t here to take shortcuts. AJ from Go Lithium and Bishop Motorsports’ Partnership & Logistics Manager shared:
“From day one, Jordan showed he was willing to put in the work. We threw roadblocks in his path, and he overcame every single one without hesitation. When he finally got in the car, he didn’t just show up—he proved he belonged. Jordan is the real deal. He’s focused, driven, and eager to learn, both on and off the track. He lifts up everyone around him and shares the same vision we do. We’re proud to have him with us and excited to see where his journey takes him next.”

Adding to the excitement of the weekend, Jordan also got to experience the winner’s circle when teammate Steve Stockton captured the win in Super Pro, and teammate Cameron earned a runner-up finish in Junior Dragster. The weekend was not just a breakthrough for Jordan—it was a winning weekend all around for Bishop Motorsports.
