Arby’s will sponsor JR Motorsports’ NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series teams in 2026, JRM announced Dec. 16.
The fast food chain will be a primary sponsor for eight races in 2026, split between drivers Justin Allgaier, Sammy Smith and Carson Kvapil.
It’ll also be an associate sponsor for Allgaier’s No. 7 for the full season.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to have Arby’s partner up with our companies,” JRM’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. said in a team release. “Arby’s is very aggressive with their activation and we pride ourselves on being a tremendous asset when it comes to offering a variety of unique marketing platforms, so I’m looking forward to how we can work together to continue to grow their business.”
Kvapil’s No. 1 will be sponsored in four events, kicking off at EchoPark Speedway. Smith’s No. 8 will have three races with Arby’s, followed by Allgaier with one.
All three drivers ran full time for JRM in 2025. Allgaier earned three wins, 15 top fives and 20 top 10s, while Kvapil scored seven top fives and 14 top 10s and Smith nabbed one win, eight top fives and 18 top 10s.
