Brent Crews will drive 29 races for Joe Gibbs Racing<\/p>\n
Joe Gibbs Racing has signed Brent Crews for competition in the NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2026. He\u2019ll drive the No. 19 in 29 races for the team. <\/p>\n
Hear from Brent Crews below. <\/p>\n
The 17-year-old is not allowed to race on oval tracks larger than 1.25-mile per NASCAR rules. So, he\u2019ll make his O\u2019Reilly debut on the road course at COTA. <\/p>\n
He\u2019ll turn 18 on March 30th. From that point, Crews will take over the No. 19 car on a full-time basis. <\/p>\n
Seth Chavka will serve as the crew chief for the No. 19 entry. <\/p>\n

Crews won four of his nine ARCA Menards Series races in 2025. <\/p>\n
JGR comments<\/p>\n
