The team announced Jan. 13 that Massey will compete full time in the series with high expectations entering the season. The Georgia native brings partners Mongoose Power Solutions and Brunt Workwear, joining BMR\u2019s NAPA Auto Care backing for the 2026 campaign. This marks Massey\u2019s first full season in NASCAR- or ARCA-sanctioned competition as he looks to build consistency and results in the No. 19 entry for BMR.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR Experience\u2026 With only two ARCA Menards Series East starts to his credit, much of Massey\u2019s experience comes from higher levels on the NASCAR ladder. The Douglasville, Ga., native has made 99 career starts across the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. While Massey has recorded three career top-10 finishes, two came at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, one of the shorter tracks on the NASCAR schedule. Short-track racing could be a strength as he prepares for a season that features several short-track events.<\/p>\n<p>Looking Forward to 2026\u2026 The ARCA Menards Series West features 13 races on the 2026 calendar, including two appearances at Kevin Harvick\u2019s Kern Raceway. The 11-time ARCA Menards Series West champions are excited to welcome both Massey and Hailie Deegan for the 2026 season. Both drivers bring experience from NASCAR\u2019s lower ranks to ARCA West as they chase Bill McAnally Racing\u2019s 12th championship in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Tune In\u2026 Coverage from Bakersfield, Ca. begins at 7:45 p.m. ET on FloRacing for the season opener at Kern Raceway. Stay connected with the No. 19 Mongoose Power Solutions team by following @BMR_NASCAR on Twitter, @bmr_nascar on Instagram and Bill McAnally Racing on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Mason Massey Quote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m super excited for this opportunity to team up with Bill McAnally Racing for the 2026 season. It\u2019s been a career goal of mine to run a successful full-time season and having the opportunity to land that in a place like BMR is a dream come true. There\u2019s a reason why BMR has 11 championships to their name\u00a0and I can\u2019t wait to go out there and compete for wins and hopefully a shot at\u00a0the championship as well. Huge thanks to BMR, but also Mongoose Power Solutions, Brunt Workwear, and NAPA Auto Care for the opportunity.
