Ross Chastain will compete in four NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races for Jordan Anderson Racing in 2026, the team announced Jan. 20.
Chastain’s races in the No. 32 are at EchoPark Speedway, Circuit of the Americas, Watkins Glen International and Sonoma Raceway.
“We’re excited to welcome Ross to the No. 32 for these races,” team owner Jordan Anderson said in a team release. “He’s a proven winner at the [NASCAR] Cup [Series] level, but he’s also someone who understands what it takes to grow within a team and build results through hard work. His experience and perspective will be valuable for everyone in our organization.”
Chastain’s JAR starts are in addition to his previously announced appearances in JR Motorsports’ No. 9.
In five starts in the series in 2025, he scored three top fives and four top 10s.
He earned one win, four top fives and 12 top 10s in the Cup Series in 2025 and will return to Trackhouse Racing full time in 2026.
The No. 32 will be full time in 2026 for the first time; Rajah Caruth is the team’s previously announced driver, running 10 races.
