Jake Bollman and Christian Eckes will drive Bill McAnally Racing’s No. 19 for the remainder of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season, BMR announced March 5.
Bollman will drive each of the non-road courses, beginning this weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
Eckes, meanwhile, will compete in the car at Portland International Raceway and Sonoma Raceway.
Daniel Hemric, McAnally’s full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver of the No. 19 (via McAnally-Hilgemann Racing), competed in the season opener for the team at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway.
“We’re looking forward to giving Jake an opportunity to drive the NAPA Auto Care Chevy this year,” McAnally said in a team release. “We’ve prided ourselves on elevating young talented drivers and I think Jake can take full advantage of this.
“It’s great to be able to continue working with Christian for a couple races, also. He was a monumental part of our truck program, so it’s a great chance for us to help his [NASCAR] Xfinity Series effort this year and continue having him as part of our program. We’d love to get the NAPA Auto Care Chevy back in victory lane with both Jake and Christian and make more memories during NAPA’s 100th anniversary.
Bollman has made four West starts since 2023, earning two top 10s. Eckes, who formerly drove for McAnally’s Truck team before moving to the Xfinity Series this year with Kaulig Racing, will make his West debut as part of the announcement.
