Joe Gibbs Racing has signed Brent Crews for competition in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2026. He’ll drive the No. 19 in 29 races for the team.
Hear from Brent Crews below.
The 17-year-old is not allowed to race on oval tracks larger than 1.25-mile per NASCAR rules. So, he’ll make his O’Reilly debut on the road course at COTA.
He’ll turn 18 on March 30th. From that point, Crews will take over the No. 19 car on a full-time basis.
Seth Chavka will serve as the crew chief for the No. 19 entry.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to race with a winning organization and Toyota,” Crews said via the team release.
“I’ve learned a lot so far with the ARCA program and at the track with the No.19 team. I have a lot to prepare for this season, but I feel confident with all the resources that JGR and Toyota provide to help with an easy transition.”
Crews won four of his nine ARCA Menards Series races in 2025.
“We are excited to have Brent continue his racing career with us this upcoming season,” said Steve de Souza, Executive Vice President of O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Development for JGR.
“He showed a lot of success in our equipment throughout the 2025 ARCA season, and we are confident that he will continue to be a top contender in the O’Reilly Series.”
