Building on past experiences, Henry is gearing up for a triumphant return in 2026. In 2022, despite mechanical challenges like transmission damage repaired by 4D Engineering and poor weather, Henry earned Rookie of the Year. He focused on learning the mountain, achieving 122 mph speeds.

In 2024, with upgraded parts for higher speeds, qualifying damage and illness limited practice, but resilience led to a top-10 finish. Henry noted: "100%! We’re hoping to have a highly upgraded version for next year..."

For 2026: Plans include further car upgrades (e.g., aerodynamics, engine tuning), expanded simulator practice, and team expansions for enduros. Drawing from NASA wins, Henry aims for a podium in Unlimited. Stay tuned for updates on testing at tracks like Daytona and Utah Motorsports Campus.
