The last time we were together, my NASCAR career grew from a few races each season to competing full time in NASCAR, something I thought I\u2019d never get the chance to do. My first handful of races with Alpha Prime Racing were ones that I will never forget. I felt like I was given a massive opportunity back then, and I feel the same way about this opportunity five years later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellis has two top ten finishes in his NOAPS career, placing eighth at Charlotte in 2025 (DGM Racing) and sixth in the 2026 season-opener at Daytona (Young&#8217;s Motorsports). He has driven for a dozen different race teams in his career, but 75 of his 193 starts have come with Alpha Prime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRyan has a strong history with Alpha Prime Racing, and we\u2019re excited to welcome him back as we continue building for the future,\u201d said Jusan Hamilton, President of Alpha Prime Racing. \u201cHe understands what it takes to compete at this level, but just as importantly, he understands the value of building lasting relationships with partners. As we prepare for our transition to Ford in 2027, having Ryan return on a multi-year agreement brings valuable experience, continuity and a strong commercial foundation to our program. We look forward to building on that together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Added team founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/tommy-joe-martins\/14651\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tommy Joe Martins<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019re signing a friend. When we started APR in 2022, he was the first person that believed in our program, and in a lot of ways he helped lay the foundation of our team and helped me understand how to shape our organization. He\u2019s part of the family here. There\u2019s a lot of trust on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read Also:<\/p>\n<p>            We want your opinion!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-auto\">What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"#\" class=\"ms-link text-link font-bold\">Take our 5 minute survey.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-1 text-body\">&#8211; The Motorsport.com Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Ellis has secured full-time ride in the NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Series for the 2027 season with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":934748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,115604,634,109586,115603,74944,320457,82],"class_list":["post-934747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ism-raceway","tag-nascar","tag-nascar-oreilly","tag-phoenix-ii","tag-ryan-ellis","tag-ryan-ellis-signs-multi-year-nascar-oreilly-deal-with-alpha-prime-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
