Ryan Ellis is leaving DGM Racing at the end of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, the team announced Oct. 25.
Ellis has competed full time for the organization in its No. 71 in 2025, earning one top 10, Ellis’ first in the series, at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
He had joined the team this year from Alpha Prime Racing, for whom he had driven since 2022.
Ellis has not yet commented on the departure or his plans for 2026.
DGM has fielded two full-time cars in 2025, the Nos. 71 and 91. It’s also entered the No. 92 on a part-time basis.
Kevin Rutherford is the executive editor of Frontstretch, a position he gained in 2025 after being the managing editor since 2015, and serving on the editing staff since 2013.
At his day job, he's a journalist covering music and rock charts at Billboard. He lives in New York City, but his heart is in Ohio -- you know, like that Hawthorne Heights song.
