Jeremy Clements Racing has been a staple of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series community for many years, since 2008, to be exact. Jeremy and his No. 51 team have powered their small, single-car team to two race wins, one in 2017 and one in 2022, which gained them a Playoff spot.

They move into the inaugural O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season with a significant move, a technical alliance with Haas Factory Team. In September, Haas Factory Team announced it was moving to Chevrolet for the 2026 season, marking the team’s return to the brand since leaving in 2017. Part of their move to Chevrolet included a technical alliance with Hendrick Motorsports in the Cup Series; it is not known whether that will trickle down to the OAPS and, therefore, JCR.

Driver/Owner Jeremy Clements said, “We’ve always fought hard as a single-car team, but this is a major opportunity for us, and partnering with the Haas Factory Team means a lot! We’re excited for what’s ahead!”

The partnership will mark a massive leap for the family-owned team; it will provide enhanced resources, technology, and other opportunities for the No. 51 team. This marks a further push to become a first-tier team in the series.
