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.

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]
