MOORESVILLE, N.C. – SS-GreenLight Racing is bringing veteran driver Alex Labbe back for all of the road course races for the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season.

Labbé will drive the No. 0 Chevrolet, which was previously the No. 14 car. As a part of his deal for 2026, he will race Feb. 28 at Circuit of the Americas, May 9 at Watkins Glen, June 20 in San Diego, June 27 in Sonoma and Oct. 10 at the Charlotte Roval.

As a premier road racer in NASCAR, he earned three top-15 finishes on the road courses, including at Circuit of the Americas where he completed more green flag passes than any other driver. He also secured stage points in both stages and finished 14th.

“I’m really excited to be staying with SS-Greenlight. We have had some great runs over the year and I’m looking forward to building on that with some good runs this year,” Labbé said.

Former NASCAR driver Bobby Dotter formed SS-GreenLight Racing in 2001. The team’s only NOAPS win came with Cole Custer at Auto Club Speedway in 2022.

That was also the last year Labbé raced over half of the NOAPS schedule, 26 of 33 races. He raced more that year than the last three years combined (25 races).

Less seat time hasn’t been because Labbé lacked behind the wheel. He earned a top-five finish (fourth at the Charlotte Roval) and 13 top-10s for Mario Gosselin’s DGM Racing from 2018 to 2022 — accounting for around half of DGM’s top-fives and top-10s during that timespan. Six of those 13 top-10s have been on road courses.

Labbé partnered with SS-GreenLight in 2023. Bringing him back for the road course races for the fourth NOAPS season in a row highlights how they see him as a strong threat they can acquire for themselves.

“We are so excited to have Alex back in the car next year. He has brought so much to our program and we can’t wait to build on the successes we have had in the past,” Labbe said.

Labbé posted three top-15 finishes for SS-GreenLight on road courses in NOAPS in 2025. 

Road courses aren’t the only place where Labbé has had success. He also has four top-10 finishes at Talladega and Daytona. At the latter track in February 2020, he posted DGM’s best laps led total in a single race — 19 of 120 laps led.

Partners for Labbé’s 2026 campaign will be announced in the coming weeks.  Labbé will share the No. 0 Chevrolet with Garrett Smithley, who was named the primary driver of the ride for 2026.
