In a significant step for 2026, Young’s Motorsports will transition its flagship No. 02 — long synonymous with the organization’s success in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series — to the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series full-time, underscoring the team’s continued growth at the national level.

Ellis will pilot the No. 02 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro across the full 33-race schedule, continuing with Saturday evening’s Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 at Nashville (Tenn.)

● Ryan Ellis O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Nashville Superspeedway Stats: Saturday night’s battle just outside Music City will mark Ellis’s fifth NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series start at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway, a fast but treacherous 1.33-mile oval that has continued to deliver exceptional concrete racing.

In his previous four outings at the Lebanon, Tenn.-based track, Ellis delivered a track-best finish of 23rd after starting 23rd in the summer edition of the Tennessee Lottery 250, while driving for Alpha Prime Racing.

Overall, he holds an average NOAPS finish of 27.8 at the popular venue.

This weekend’s action is part of a triple-header at the iconic 1.33-mile Nashville Superspeedway, beginning Friday night, May 29, with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, followed by the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday and culminating Sunday, May 31, with the Cracker Barrel 400 under the lights.

One of NASCAR’s marquee summer destinations, Nashville Superspeedway welcomes the sport’s top three national series for a highly anticipated weekend of racing in Middle Tennessee.

The 1.33-mile concrete oval presents a unique challenge unlike any other track on the schedule, combining the speed of an intermediate facility with the technical demands of a surface known for changing grip levels and tire wear throughout a race weekend.

Drivers must balance aggression and patience as the concrete racing surface evolves, creating multiple grooves and rewarding those who can adapt to changing conditions over long green-flag runs. Restarts remain critical, while track position and pit strategy often prove decisive as teams navigate the demanding event.

With its distinctive layout and passionate fanbase, Nashville Superspeedway has quickly established itself as a fan-favorite destination, delivering intense racing and memorable moments since its return to the NASCAR national series schedule.

Ryan Ellis and Young’s Motorsports look to capitalize on the opportunity this weekend as the No. 02 team continues its pursuit of strong finishes during the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season.

As the schedule transitions into the summer stretch, Ellis aims to build on recent momentum while continuing to showcase the growth, resilience and determination of the Young’s Motorsports organization on one of NASCAR’s most challenging intermediate tracks.

● Ryan Ellis NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Career Stats: Entering Nashville, Ellis has 179 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races to his credit, earning a career-best sixth-place finish after starting 32nd in the 2026 edition of the United Rentals 300 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway for Young’s Motorsports.

Since his 2012 debut, Ellis has averaged a 26.6 finish in series competition, including the past three seasons running full-time.

● Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway | Charbroil 300 Race Recap: The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series made its traditional Memorial Day weekend stop at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway for a 200-lap showdown.

Mother Nature wreaked havoc on Saturday at the 1.5-mile speedway, drenching the track and forcing the cancelation of practice and qualifying, resulting in the field being set by the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series metric.

After weather delayed the start of the event, Ellis rolled from the 27th position for the first of two Charlotte appearances on the 2026 schedule.

Despite receiving no on-track practice time, Ellis steadily worked his way through the field during the opening stage while continuing to improve the handling of his No. 02 Young's Motorsports Ford.

As Stage 2 unfolded, Ellis continued to gain positions while avoiding a multicar incident that disrupted the closing laps of the segment.

With approximately 15 laps remaining in Stage 2, Ellis appeared poised to continue his charge toward a top-20 finish. However, deteriorating weather conditions forced NASCAR officials to call the race after 91 of the scheduled 200 laps.

The performance marked the team's strongest showing since a sixth-place finish in the season-opening event at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February.

Now, Ellis and Young's Motorsports turn their attention to Nashville Superspeedway as the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series reaches the halfway point of the 2026 season.

● Calling the Shots: Guiding Ryan Ellis as crew chief of the No. 02 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro is longtime crew chief, engineer and industry veteran Eddie Troconis.

On Saturday, Troconis will call his 37th NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race from atop the pit box. In his previous 36 starts, he has recorded two top-10 finishes, most recently in the 2026 season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.

The season’s 16th race will mark his second O’Reilly Auto Parts Series event at Nashville Superspeedway and his first since 2021, when he guided series veteran Josh Williams to a respectable 21st-place finish in the Tennessee Lottery 250.

Additionally, Troconis has one NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start at Nashville, with driver Kris Wright in 2021.

● Young's Motorsports' NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Overview at Nashville Superspeedway: This weekend’s Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 will mark Young’s Motorsports’ third and fourth NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at Nashville Superspeedway.

In the organization’s previous appearances at the popular 1.33-mile oval, rookie Leland Honeyman Jr. delivered the team’s strongest performance during its inaugural season in 2024.

After qualifying 25th, Honeyman showcased a steady presence in his debut at the track, earning a respectable 25th-place finish.

Beyond its growing résumé in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, the Mooresville, N.C.-based organization also brings valuable experience to Charlotte through its NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series program.

Since 2021, Young’s Motorsports has recorded 11 Truck Series starts at Nashville Superspeedway, highlighted by a track-best 19th-place finish twice, most recently from NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series competitor Nick Leitz in the 2023 Rackley Roofing 250.

Across those appearances, the organization owns an average starting position of 26.8 and an average finishing position of 25.4, continuing to build experience at one of NASCAR’s most demanding concrete tracks.

● Young's Motorsports' NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series History: Since entering the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2024, the family-owned organization has logged 96 starts and earned one top-five and four top-10 finishes while maintaining an average starting position of 27.5 and an average finish of 24.9.

Ryan Ellis Quoteboard:

On Nashville Superspeedway: “Nashville is a really unique racetrack because it drives differently than most of the intermediate tracks we go to.

“The concrete surface changes a lot throughout a run, and you have to stay ahead of those changes if you want to be competitive. It’s a place where patience pays off, but you also have to be aggressive when the opportunities are there.”

On Keys to Success at Nashville Superspeedway: “The biggest key at Nashville is keeping up with the track throughout the race. The concrete surface changes quite a bit, so you have to make good adjustments and stay ahead of it.

“Track position is important, but you also have to take care of your tires and execute on pit road. If we can do those things and avoid mistakes, we'll give ourselves a chance to have a solid day.”

On Goals for Nashville Superspeedway: “Our goal is pretty simple: keep building. We want to qualify well, stay on the lead lap, execute on pit road and be in contention when it matters most. If we do those things, I think we’re capable of coming away with a strong result.”

On Tablo TV Nashville-Themed Paint Scheme: “When I first saw the renderings, I thought it was one of the coolest paint schemes we've had all season. It really captures the energy and personality of Nashville, which has become one of the premier destinations on the NASCAR schedule.

“From the music scene to the atmosphere surrounding race weekend, there's a lot that makes this city special, and I think Tablo TV did an incredible job bringing that to life on the No. 02 Chevrolet.

“They're a fantastic partner and always looking for creative ways to engage fans, so it's exciting to showcase a design that's unique to this event. Hopefully, we can give everyone plenty of opportunities to see it by putting together a strong run on Saturday night.”

On Halfway Point of the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Season: “It’s hard to believe we’re already getting to the halfway point of the season.

“We’ve had some good moments and some races that didn’t go our way, but I’m proud of how this team keeps fighting every week. We’re focused on continuing to improve and putting together the kind of results we know we’re capable of.”

On 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Goals: “As we get closer to the halfway point of the season, our focus is continuing to build momentum and turn the speed we’ve shown into stronger finishes.

“I think there’s been a lot of progress behind the scenes, even if the results haven’t always reflected it. The communication continues to improve, the chemistry within the team is getting stronger and we’ve definitely unloaded with more speed compared to where we started the year.

“For us, it’s about putting together complete races and continuing to execute throughout the weekend. If we can keep improving on the small details, qualify better and stay in position during the final stages of these races, I really believe the results we’re capable of are going to come.”

● Year Three, Driven Forward: Young’s Motorsports continues its campaign in the newly rebranded NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, looking to build momentum with its expanding two-car effort as the season rolls on at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend.

Super Late Model veteran Logan Bearden returns to the organization, but this time for his second stint in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and will pilot the No. 42 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro in the 16th of 33 races on the 2026 schedule.

● About Logan: Logan Bearden, 30, began racing go-karts at the age of nine before quickly progressing through Bandoleros and Legends Cars on short tracks across his home state of Texas.

A native of Leander, Texas, Bearden has built a strong reputation in Late Model competition nationwide, earning wins and top finishes along the way.

Over the past decade, Bearden has competed against some of the top names in short-track racing, developing a résumé that includes Super Late Model and Pro Late Model starts across the Southeast and Midwest, as well as select appearances in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series and NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

In 2022, Bearden made his Truck Series debut at Circuit of The Americas, delivering a respectable top-25 finish on his home turf. Since then, he has continued to balance his Late Model commitments while pursuing opportunities in NASCAR’s national ranks.

This weekend, Bearden looks to make the most of his return to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with Young’s Motorsports, bringing his veteran Late Model experience and patient, disciplined driving style to the team’s No. 42 Chevrolet for the Suburban Propane 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

When not behind the wheel of a race car, Bearden works as a general mechanic for SS-GreenLight Racing in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

● All-Aboard! For the 16th of 33 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races this season, Young’s Motorsports welcomes back new team partner T3 Vodka as the primary partner on the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for the 188-lap race on Saturday night.   

Founded in 2022 in Knoxville, Tennessee, T3 Vodka is a premium spirits brand rooted in local pride and community connection.

The company is expanding distribution through its agreement with Empire Distributors, beginning in Knoxville and Chattanooga before continuing into Nashville and Memphis throughout 2026.

Additionally, T3 Vodka became the Official Vodka of Bristol Motor Speedway earlier this year. T3 Vodka maintains a year-round presence at one of NASCAR’s most iconic venues, while continuing to grow its retail footprint across Tennessee.

● He’ll Be Back for More: Last month, Young’s Motorsports announced that Logan Bearden will compete in a minimum of three NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races with the Mooresville, N.C.-based organization during the 2026 season.

T3 Vodka first appeared as a primary partner aboard Bearden’s Chevrolet in the April 11 Suburban Propane 300 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and will return for Saturday’s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway before concluding its three-race program in the Sept. 18 Food City 300 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Playoff race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The expanded partnership builds upon a successful relationship established during the 2025 season, with T3 Vodka increasing its investment in Bearden’s racing efforts as both the emerging brand and rising driver continue to gain momentum heading into the second half of the season.

● Stateside to London Across the Atlantic: Following the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday night, Logan Bearden will return to Mooresville, North Carolina, where he will spend less than 48 hours at home before heading to the airport to fly to London, as the Texan is competing full-time in the NASCAR Euro Series this season in the V8 GP division, driving the No. 30 O2 daisy Ford Mustang for Rette Jones Racing by Hendriks Motorsport.

Carrying momentum from Nashville, Bearden will quickly shift focus to his international campaign as the third race weekend of the season kicks off at Brands Hatch in West Kingsdown, Kent, England, from June 6 to 7, 2026.

On Keys to Success at Nashville Superspeedway: “I think the biggest keys are patience and execution. The track can change a lot over the course of a run, so you have to stay ahead of those changes and keep communicating with your team.
