Summary: AM Racing has formally ceased operations in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, effective immediately, with all team employees released from duties. Several outlets reported the news on May 14–15, 2026, noting the team had not raced for weeks prior to the announcement and that a prior asset sale attempt fell through.[2][3][4][5]
Context: After withdrawing from Rockingham in March 2026, AM Racing had been unable to resume normal business activity, leading to its closure. The news followed reports that a sale of assets to Sigma Performance Services collapsed before the 2026 season, and that the organization struggled to stabilize operations.[3][2]
Driver situation: The closure left drivers in limbo, with at least some reports noting the abrupt end of the team’s program and the immediate impact on personnel.[4][2]
Related coverage: Industry outlets and motorsport press widely reported the development, including Motorsport.com and Yardbarker, with consistent details about cease of operations and staff release.[6][2]
