www.amracingteam.comAM Racing has ceased NASCAR operations as of May 2026.
Overview
- The team announced formal cessation of operations and released all staff in mid-May 2026, ending its NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series program for the 2026 season. This followed weeks of silence after withdrawing from events earlier in the year.
Key developments
- Prior to the official closure, AM Racing had withdrawn from several races (notably Rockingham in March 2026) and had been unable to secure a viable path to continue normal operations for 2026. This context preceded the formal shutdown.
- Reports indicated ongoing financial instability and the collapse of a previously targeted asset sale to stabilize the team, which contributed to the decision to wind down.
What this means for fans and the series
- The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series field saw at least one team shutter its doors mid-season, reducing the number of full-time entrants and affecting the competitive landscape for the 2026 season.
- There has been media coverage across motorsports outlets confirming the closure and highlighting the final status of AM Racing.
