Bishop Motorsports has officially added 18-year-old Jordan DaCosta to its growing roster. Just a month after joining the team, the Florida native traveled to Minnesota to complete his NHRA licensing—and made an immediate impression.
In just three days, DaCosta completed his licensing process to compete in Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, Advanced ET and restricted eighth-mile Top Dragster.
“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 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, DaCosta 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. T
