Sometimes the best partnerships start with a great camping experience.
KCN Campgrounds is excited to announce a new partnership with Nathan Dupuis Motorsports, bringing together two communities that have more in common than you might expect: campers who love the open road, and motorsports families who spend much of their lives traveling it.
It started at Sweetwater
The relationship began naturally. While traveling the country for Nathan Dupuis’ racing schedule, the Dupuis family stayed at several KCN Campgrounds locations, including Sweetwater KOA Holiday in Tennessee.
After their stay in Sweetwater, the family connected with our team to share how much they enjoyed the experience. They had also begun sharing campground content with Nathan’s followers, giving fans a glimpse into another big part of race-weekend life: everything that happens between the tracks. That conversation grew into a partnership.
Meet Nathan Dupuis
Nathan is a Canadian racer making his move into sports car competition, piloting the No. 041 Toyota GR86 for Copeland Motorsports in the Toyota GR Cup North America series. After coming up through the karting ranks, 2026 marks his rookie season on track in a one-make championship that visits some of the continent’s best circuits.
Look for KCN on the track
Race fans can now spot the KCN Campgrounds logo on the hood of Nathan Dupuis’ race car as he competes in the Toyota GR Cup North America series.
This past weekend, Nathan and Copeland Motorsports were at historic Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, August 28-30, for Rounds 9 and 10 of the 2026 championship, the debut weekend for Nathan’s new livery and the KCN Campgrounds partnership. He arrived carrying momentum from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, where he climbed through the field in both races and finished the weekend with an eighth-place result.
Road America is one of North America’s most recognizable road-racing circuits. The 4.048-mile, 14-turn course made the perfect setting to debut the new look.
A partnership that fits life on the road
For racing families, travel is part of the sport. Teams, drivers and fans regularly cover hundreds or thousands of miles between events, and many make those trips in RVs and motorhomes. That makes campgrounds a natural part of the motorsports lifestyle.
“We’re thrilled to welcome KCN Campgrounds into the Nathan Dupuis Motorsports family,” said Todd Dupuis, President of Nathan Dupuis Motorsports. “When Nathan and I and the family are on the road racing across the country, and traveling in our motorhome, KCN Campgrounds is where we choose to stay every time.”
Todd added that the partnership is a chance to introduce KCN Campgrounds to the broader motorsports community, including the teams, drivers and spectators who travel by RV throughout the racing season.
For KCN, it’s also about supporting a young driver as he builds his career, and connecting with a community that already shares our love of travel and adventure.
“Some of our favorite guests are the ones chasing a passion across the country,” said Kevin Thueson, CEO of KCN Campgrounds. “The Dupuis family is exactly who our parks are made for, folks who live life on the road and deserve a great place to call home when they get there. Being on the car is an honor, and you can bet we’ll be cheering the loudest.”
More than a logo
Seeing KCN Campgrounds on a race car is a highlight, but we see this as much more than a logo placement. As the Dupuis family travels throughout the racing season, we look forward to welcoming them to KCN Campgrounds along the way, and sharing more of their travels, race weekends and campground experiences.
Nathan’s remaining 2026 Toyota GR Cup schedule includes Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, September 25-27, before the championship concludes at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October, where the series races for a $1 million purse.
So if you’re watching the Toyota GR Cup this season, keep an eye out for a familiar logo on the track. We’ll be cheering Nathan on from the campground all season long.
